My baby has had diarrhea for two days and was prescribed Saccharomyces boulardii 250 mg (Econorm) sachets, but after we gave the powder mixed with milk, the baby vomited all night; should we stop or continue this medicine?
Please temporarily stop giving the Saccharomyces boulardii (Econorm) sachets for now. When a baby is actively vomiting, their stomach is highly irritated, and mixing medicine with milk can trigger further vomiting. Your priority right now is keeping your baby hydrated. Try offering very small, frequent sips of oral rehydration solution or breast milk. Because your baby has been vomiting throughout the night, please contact your pediatrician immediately. They need to evaluate your baby to prevent dehydration and determine the safest next steps.
