Good Afternoon, My son who is 3 next month, seems to have excess gas right now and his last bowel movement on sunday was quite loose. Now on the weekend(saturday) he ate something that did not sit well(nothing that he has not had before) and vomitted perfusely on the ride home. Kept his diet light with plenty fluids, but I m concerned about the gas. Should I be? He hasn t been sick since but has not had a bm either. Suggestion on how to proceed and should mention had a slight fever last night. Thank you for your time and assistance A.Munroe
Hi.... It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. 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. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
