- Drinking
Avoid dehydration. They must consume enough fluids to meet their daily needs and replenish those lost due to vomiting or diarrhea. - If your child has diarrhea but not vomiting, they can drink as much as they want, but they should drink modest amounts of water often if they are vomiting. Every few minutes, give your youngster 5 mL of fluid. Give them up to 30 mL of fluids every 5 minutes if they can keep it down.
- Eating
Clear liquids, such as apple juice and water popsicles, broth ginger ale, no sugary electrolyte beverages, and sports electrolyte drinks are preferable.
Pedialyte or other electrolyte maintenance solutions should be given.
Let your child eat healthy foods that aren’t too heavy in fat or sugar if they have diarrhea but aren’t vomiting or have stopped vomiting.
They’ll heal faster if they eat. A few hours after they haven’t vomited, cautiously start feeding them little amounts of food.
If your child has diarrhea or has been vomiting, it is advisable to avoid giving them fatty or oily meals. Do not administer over-the-counter drugs such as dimenhydrinate (Gravol) or loperamide to your child if they suffer vomiting or diarrhea (Imodium).
Even while your child is getting better, it’s essential to watch what they eat.
The optimal diet consists primarily of moderate and readily digestible foods. Some of these might be.
non-acidic fruits like bananas, melons, and figs
lean meats without added seasonings
rice or mashed potatoes
toast, crackers, or plain cereal
breast milk or formula for babies and toddlers
