A member asked:

My son 8 years old has had vomiting for 2 days and diarrhea for 4 days . stool analysis normal except wbc 0-2 . has stomach cramps and no fever. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vomiting and D : with normal stool analysis is most likely related to a viral infection, and symptoms can last 4-5 days. Continue with electrolyte solutions to drink and advance intake to include starch foods when vomiting stops. Imodium (loperamide) is generally not recommended for diarrhea although it decreases stool frequency, as it may cause more bloating and cramps. Blood in stool or mucous needs evaluation.
