BRAT Diet : Bananas, applesauce , rice and toast is a good stand by treatment . Sound like you all have a viral illness that needs to pass, focus on maintaining good hydration

See physician : Assuming you have no fever and other systemic signs and symptoms it is probably viral. Just follow usual precautions hand washing surface cleaning etc. Plain yogurt as probiotic and modify diet like clear soups and soft cooked rice may help. Add a 1/4th spoon of nutmeg powder to your coffee and children's milk which will control acidity and diarrhea. see physician after 3 days if no response
