POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. Puking and loose motions in a baby can be concerning, and they may indicate a variety of issues. Here are some possibilities:
1. Viral Gastroenteritis: This is a common cause of vomiting and diarrhea in babies. It often resolves on its own but can lead to dehydration.
2. Food Intolerance or Allergy: If your baby has started solids, certain foods might not agree with them, causing gastrointestinal upset.
3. Infection: Bacterial infections can also lead to vomiting and diarrhea, often accompanied by fever.
4. Teething: Sometimes, teething can cause mild digestive upset, including loose stools, but it typically doesn’t cause vomiting.
What to Do:
Hydration: Ensure your baby stays hydrated. Offer small sips of an oral rehydration solution (ORS) if advised by a pediatrician. Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding.
Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on your baby’s overall condition. If they show signs of dehydration (such as dry mouth, fewer wet diapers, or lethargy) or if vomiting and diarrhea persist for more than a day or two, consult your pediatrician.
Diet: Avoid giving your baby solid foods until the vomiting and diarrhea improve. Stick to clear fluids initially.
When to Seek Medical Attention:
Persistent vomiting or diarrhea for more than 24 hours.
Signs of dehydration.
Blood in vomit or stools.
High fever.
It's always best to consult your pediatrician when your baby is unwell, especially at such a young age, to get the most appropriate care.
