I'm really worried because for the past two days, he's been having loose motions and also some vomiting. The vomiting seems to have stopped since yesterday, but the loose motions are still going on. What could be causing this, and is there something we should do to help it stop?

My daughter has a slight asthma problem and she gets a lot of coughing because of allergies. She's been told to use a nebuliser 4 times a day with 0.5ml asthalin and 0.5ml budecort mixed with 3ml NS. Also, she's on Monticope 2.5ml twice a day for 3 months. I'm wondering how long it'll take for her cough to go away with these medicines? I'm just really worried and looking for some guidance.

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.

I'm really concerned about what happens if we don't use cold water pattis on the head during high fevers. Can you explain why this practice is so important? I've heard it's crucial, but I'm not sure exactly how it helps or what the risks are if we skip it. Could you help me understand this better?
