Gastroenteritis: Viral gastroenteritis is the most common cause of vomiting and diarrhea in infants and children. It is best to use an oral electrolye solution for infants (available OTC at pharmacies) until no vomiting for at least 4 hours then gradually resume his typical diet. If he has abdominal pain, is very fussy or lethargic, or does not have a wet diaper for more than 8 hours,he needs to see MD
