Menu Diarrhea and Vomiting Diarrhea and vomiting are symptoms of many common childhood illnesses such as a cold, sore throat, stomach flu or food poisoning. In addition, diarrhea and vomiting can cause other problems, mainly dehydration.
Dehydration is a condition caused by a lack of liquids in the body.
Signs of dehydration include infrequent urination, lack of tears, no bubbles in an infant's mouth and unusual sleepiness. Avoid prunes, prune juice, apple juice or pear juice until diarrhea is gone. Inc. All rights reserved.
