I have a great-niece who is 2 yrs. old. She has diarrhea, has been vomiting, and while she is sleeping, she gets this white foam that comes out of her mouth and covers her face. She s lost weight and has a hard time swallowing her food. Any suggestions please?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
