Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In absence of parasitic infection there might be a viral or bacterial infection for fever give acetaminophen or brufen syrup every 8 hours. For vomiting give an antiemetic (other than primperane as its contraindicated in children) for diarrhea give an anti-diarrheal syrup as motiluim and oral rehydration solution 5 tea spoons for every pound of weight with each attack of diarrhea or vomiting to prevent dehydration.
For tummy pain give an antispasmodic as visceralgine syrup. I suggest you to add an antibiotic as it will help resolve any bacterial infection and pus in stools.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
