Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting which can be caused by viral fever due to gastroenteritis. Lowered immunity of body causes increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not worry. Usually viral symptoms will resolve in one week on its own. I would suggest you to 1) Avoid intake of outside and hot, sharp and spicy liquids.2) Chat Doctor. 3) Do warm saline gargles. Take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache.4) Take analgesic such as Flexion and take light diet.5) You should do tepid sponging as well if fever is of high grade. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests an s well. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
