[|Human|] I have a fifteen month old grandson. On tues. he had a slight fever and loose stools.. On Wed. he started vomiting with greenish colored loose stools. Today he cried all day long and only wanted my daughter to hold him all day. He ate cheerios but anything else he wouldnt eat. Tonight he ate something and vomited again. How do you know when it is a stomach virus or food poisoning? He is still having wet diapers. After the last vomiting episode they fed him jello and seemed to keep that down. No fever today. Just constant crying.Should they take him to e.r.
[|AI|]  Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
