What Causes Diarrhea And Projectile Vomiting In An Infant?

Hi, my son is 8 weeks old and has had diarrhea (total water with a tint) and mucusy green diarrhea for a week and four days. He has had projectile vomiting, sweats (but no fever) and his sleep and demeanor have changed. Tonight, he began wheezing/crying/screaming in his sleep. The dr ruled out dehydration and all bacterial viruses and blood from a stool sample this past Tuesday. I have been dairy- free for a week and a half without any change in his stools.Tonight, he won t sleep and has been crying/wheezing in his sleep. He has GERD and takes 0.5 mg of a prescription medication for it. We also give him gripe water every four hours and gas drops with every feed. He has no known allergies. He just had a VCUG procedure done, but the results were negative. What do i do? What could it be? All I ve been able to find online is Pyloric Stenosis and Gastroenteritis and that terrifies me.

Hi,

There is no need of any panic. At present there is no chance of any pyloric stenosis. No need of any panic about gastroenteritis. Since you mentioned that there is wheezing, vomiting and diarrhea. It seems to be a case of allergy with infection ( bacterial or viral, common in infants ). Tepid water drop by drop. Consult a peediatrician and get his opinion because in such cases only consultation is necessary.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Het Ram Bishnoi
