Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My 19-month-old baby vomited two days ago, and it stopped when we gave Emeset syrup, but she is not eating properly. She is not active after taking medicine and crying the whole day. Please help.

Answered by Dr. Jeffrey Aaron

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Firstly if the vomit is not associated with any fever or poor urine output, there is no chance of dehydration.

But if the child is not eating well, this could be due to the following reasons:

1) Any mouth ulcers that can hurt the child while feeding.

2) Acute gastritis that irritates the child, causing a decreased appetite.

Please help me with the weight of the child and if there is any fever or other symptoms.

I will help you out with a prescription.

Thank you, and have a good day.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
