Evening doctors, have a toddler who has had s bad case of the running tummy for the past 3days.i have given her rehidrant and also loads of liquids(water).she also has a rash on her back and chest. could you advise what could be the course?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fluids, food: Sounds like she has a viral stomach bug - lots of them going around this time of year. First is to keep her well hydrated - water, gaterade low sugar, oral rehydration products such as pedialyte. Begin refeeding asap if not vomiting - complex carbs and proteins - pasta, eggs, peanut butter, toast. Finally, probiotics(pills or probiotic yogurts) and zinc supplement helps. Important to get nutrition
