Hi there. My 18 month old has been vomiting for the past 6 days and has diarrhea. If I offer her food she will have 1 spoon and vomit. The only thing that helps her is milk. But after drinking milk she has diarrhea. What can I do? Is there any medicine?

Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
