What can I give my 20-month-old baby who has a cold, cough, vomiting, and watery diarrhea that is still continuing even after giving them an Econorm sachet?
The most important step right now is to prevent dehydration. Please offer small, frequent sips of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and breast milk or water, especially after each loose stool. Since she is vomiting, giving fluids slowly?a teaspoon every few minutes?helps them stay down. Econorm contains a probiotic that helps support the gut, but it may take some time to work. Please avoid giving any over-the-counter cough or cold medicines to a baby this young. I strongly recommend having her evaluated by a pediatrician today to ensure she is safely hydrated.
