A member asked:
My 2yr old has virus. vomiting and upset stomach. the doc called in a suppository. can i give 1/4 teaspoon of imodium (loperamide) also ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: That medicine is bitter and of little use at this age. It is likely to trigger more vomiting. I would concentrate on getting things with fluid value into the kid. Things like apple sauce and pedialyte are appropriate.Making sure that the kids takes in enough to pee every 6 hrs is your main goal.
