A member asked:
My 6 year old has a diarrhea and vomiting, is it stomach flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Although not really "flu", it is most likely an enterovirus infection. It is very important to make sure he does not become dehydrated. Give him clear liquids, sips at a time if that is what he will take, and avoid milk. If you are unable to keep up with his fluid losses, please go to the ER or your doctor for assistance.
