Likely stomach virus: …is the cause of these symptoms. Recommend small, frequent amounts of fluids such as Pedialyte or 1/2-strength Gatorade. As long as can urinate at least every 8-10 hours, no blood in stools and the diarrhea lasts less than ten days then should be OK to watch at home. See your doctor if concerns for dehydration or very ill appearance. Good luck!

Vomiting, diarrhea: Acute gastroenteritis from a virus causes vomiting, diarrhea, and in some occasions, upper respiratory symptoms. Contact your pediatrician if the child is unable to keep any food/fluids down due to the risk of dehydration.
