Hi, My 5 yr old daughter has been sick for 3 days. The first day she had mild fever, vomiting, diarrhea. The second, she had just mild fever and diarrhea. Today, same but the vomiting returned (only a few times). She won t eat anything - maybe 1-2 crackers a day, although she likes the pedialyte freezies (electrolytes in them) and she s been drinking some water and some gingerale (stirred). One of her eyes is also quite bloodshot. (fever has been around 38 degrees celsius up to maybe 38.3). Please help!
Hello, As per the symptoms, it looks like she had acute gastroenteritis. Giving probiotics might reduce loose stools. Avoid dairy products as it will cause more stomach upset. Give fever relievers like Tylenol, Metal, or Cal pol and give antiemetic like Meet, Nonstop to control the vomiting. Encourage her to Chat Doctor.
