Hi
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health issues.
I understand your concern.
Childrens are kept away from antibiotics (metrogyl) till confirm bacterial or amoebic infection is diagnosed. There is no need to give metrogyl syrup to her.
If she has no fever and diarrhea, Electral water (WHO approved) and domperidone suspension 0.25 mg/kg body weight are given to control vomiting.
Within 24 hour if vomiting is not stopped you should consult pediatrician.
Regards
Dr. Hiren
