Hello doctor,
My 7-year-old son is suffering from fever (100+), loose motions and vomiting, headache, backache. He still uses a bottle for milk and once in six months we have to face this situation. Now, we firmly decided to discontinue feeding him by a bottle. Please advise medicines. He has no allergy from any medicine and his weight is about 63.93 lbs.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As your child is suffering from acute gastroenteritis, it is a good decision that you have decided to stop bottle feeding.
I suggest:
Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. Maintain hygiene and have a soft diet.
In case you feel that the child is lethargic, not feeding adequately, not passing urine, visit a pediatrician for clinical evaluation immediately.
