I accidentally gave my 8 year old 2 chewable peptos for a stomach ache. he vomited 2x & had diarrhea. hes been fine for the last 2 hours. drank water & gaterade. what else should i do? i am worried?

By itself the pepto should not be a problem, We avoid adult pepto in kids under 16 as the salicylate in the mix has a minor risk of liver damage syndrome during a flu or chickenpox. Keep the kid hydrated and the issue should pass. If he spooks you have him seen.
