Question
I'm really worried about my 16-month-old. She started vomiting and then having watery poo a few days ago. On Sunday, she threw up about 5 to 6 times from 6 pm to 10:30 pm, so we gave her 2.5 ml of ondem syrup, and it seemed to stop the vomiting. But on Monday, she started having loose motions pretty soon after eating, like within 15 to 20 minutes, and it happened more than 10 times. By Tuesday, her poo was just watery once, and she seemed okay. But then on Wednesday morning, after breastfeeding, she vomited twice and she's been refusing to eat anything. Plus, she's had more than 8 episodes of watery poo and cries every time she goes. The crying during poo is worrying me. How can I help stop the vomiting and loose stools and maybe get her to eat something? It's been tough seeing her like this.

It sounds like your baby may be dealing with a stomach infection or digestive upset. Continue giving Ondem syrup for vomiting as needed and focus on keeping her hydrated with oral rehydration solutions (ORS). For the loose motions, avoid dairy and fatty foods, and offer easily digestible foods like boiled rice or plain toast once she feels better. If symptoms persist or worsen, its best to consult her pediatrician.
