Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for the question.
For lose motions ORS and water is definitely needed.
These medicine as you said has good effect on motions. Medicines do have other effects too
. These medicines are bad to taste , also it leads to metallic taste which obviously the toddler is unable to explain but expressing it in the for of vomiting.
Infection will take some time to resolve along the time colour of motions will change.
In the mean time you can give the child medicine on empty stomach and offer something immediately after it so he does not continue with after taste of the medicine, stop vomiting.
Have patience.
