What Causes Vomiting, Fever And Motions In Infants While On Econorm?
My son is 16 months old..since 4 months due to teething he is passing lose motions with severe stomach contractions and has fever till 102 every month..as per the doctor suggestions i gave him econorm and crocin and meftal alternatively during first 2 visits and within 2 days he recovered and last month he had same problem i continued the same and since yesterday he again started motions with temp rising upto 102. But this time he had vomitings(3) followed by fever and motions(3) with contractions of stomach. I gave him same medications. So my Question is can i use these medications every month are they safe or do i have to take him to hospital? Last month my doctor said to wait for 2 days and get if not recovered but he recovered. So please suggest me what to do?
Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic. Fever, diarrhea and vomiting suggest your son is probably suffering from gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis may be caused due to bacterial, viral or protozoal infection, but viral infections are more common. Since it's been four months your son is having such complaints, it will be better if you consult a Pediatrician. Pediatrician may advice investigations like Stool Examination, USG Abdomen, CBC etc to find out exact cause of such complaints Treatment may include antiemetic like Ondansetaron for vomiting, ORS solution to prevent dehydration and Antibiotics if bacterial Infection is suspected.
