Question
A six-year-old child has vomiting and diarrhea but no fever. What medication should be given?
Answer
Considering the child may have indigestion or a common cold leading to gastrointestinal discomfort, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, eat light foods, stay warm, and get adequate rest. You can give the child an intestinal probiotic to aid digestion. If the common cold symptoms are mild, drinking more water and getting more rest can lead to natural recovery.
