Diarrhoea and vomiting (child)
A child with diarrhoea and vomiting could be in danger of electrolyte imbalance and dehydration. These could be a result of an infection caused by a virus. Rehydrating a child with diarrhoea and vomiting is important; this includes the use of oral rehydration fluids, drinking his usual milk formula and eating fruits and vegetables. A physician treats an infection with antibiotics and in severe cases, fluid replacement using an intravenous method is important to save the child from dehydration.
