What can my 2 year old have for a virus that consists of vommit and diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no medicine: to be given to a 2 year old with a gastrointestinal virus. For the vomiting,let his/her stomach "rest" for 2 hours,with nothing to eat or drink,then give sips of sweet fluids(Pedialyte/Gatorade)every 15 minutes and increase the amounts slowly.For diarrhea,once the vomiting stops,give the BRAT diet(banana/rice/apple/tea/bland foods).Make sure he/she is peeing and call his/her doc if not improving.
