My baby is 13 months. She is getting omitted & loose motions after having food. Not having any food & even water from 2 days. Forcefully I am giving ragi gunji & sago gunji, milk. I gave her "furoxone". "ebalanZ" tried to give but not taking....Please suggest advice.


answer:

mother i am sorry, but when you are sure your child isnt taking satisfactorily to near normal intake, its recommended that you visit a doctor earliest and get her treated for dehydration if any.
many children at this age may have throat infection causing vomit and motions, and thats what makes them not to eat. usually at 13 months loose motions wont come with vomiting due to diarrhea or dysentery, if they do, it may be serious matter.
If a child is getting dehydrated he may be very thirsty and will ask for water or milk very often. if the child doesnt like milk or water too but otherwise active and playful, its likely that throat is having some infection, and only in such cases child may accept forcefully.. If the child appears very sick or doesnt feel like getting up from bed or playing, its must to visit a doctor earliest for the treatment.
if the child is vomiting meds you may need to read an article how to administer medicines to infant at one of my blogsite pages .
loose motions only after food and not otherwise may be normal upto 2 years of age , as a part of gastrocolic reflex. dehydration will precipitate if the loose motions are more than 6 in a day or quantity is watery and copious.

in short do not delay visit to doc, make it your first priority.. as it may be an emergency.
