Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Vomiting?: If he is not vomiting, the zofer is not indicated, unless there are further details not described. Monitor his temperature, provide clear liquids, avoid dairy products except for yogurt. A pediatric probiotic may be helpful, and watch for any blood or mucus. Encourage fluids to avoid dehydration. Many GI illness may have a duration of 10 to 14 days.
