            [0] => Vomiting and diarrhea are common symptoms that can result from a variety of causes, including infections, food poisoning, and gastrointestinal disorders. Proper treatment is essential to prevent dehydration and ensure a swift recovery. At Monadnock Community Hospital, we offer comprehensive care for managing vomiting and diarrhea, providing effective treatments tailored to each patient's needs.

Symptoms of Vomiting and Diarrhea

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Frequent, loose, or watery stools
  • Abdominal pain or cramping
  • Fever
  • Dehydration symptoms such as dry mouth, reduced urination, and dizziness

Causes of Vomiting and Diarrhea

  • Viral Infections: Commonly caused by norovirus or rotavirus.
  • Bacterial Infections: Often from contaminated food or water, such as Salmonella or E. coli.
  • Food Intolerances: Reactions to certain foods like lactose or gluten.
  • Medications: Side effects from antibiotics or other medications.
  • Gastrointestinal Disorders: Conditions like IBS or Crohn's disease.

Treatment Options

  • Hydration: The most crucial aspect is to maintain hydration with small, frequent feedings of fluids like water, oral rehydration solutions, or electrolyte drinks.
  • For Infants: For breastfeeding infants, continue nursing more often but for shorter periods, such as every 15-30 minutes for 5-10 minutes.
  • For Older Infants and Children: Oral rehydration fluids like Pedialyte are best because they replace the fluid, salt, and sugar lost through vomiting and diarrhea. Avoid sports drinks and most juices due to their high sugar content.
  • Gradual Increase of Fluids: If your child has not vomited for 15-30 minutes, start with 1 ounce of fluid every 10-15 minutes. If tolerated for an hour or two, gradually increase the amount and give it less often. If vomiting recurs, return to 1 ounce every 10-15 minutes.
  • Creative Solutions for Hydration: If your child refuses to drink, try freezing Pedialyte to make popsicles or offer low-sugar popsicles.
  • Dietary Adjustments: If there has been no vomiting for several hours, or if there is only diarrhea without vomiting, a regular diet is generally recommended. Avoid high-fat or high-sugar foods. The BRAT diet alone is too restrictive; instead, offer a combination of complex carbohydrates (rice, wheat, potatoes, bread), lean meats, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables. Formula and cow’s milk may be given without dilution.

When to Seek Medical Attention

  • Symptoms persist beyond a couple of days.
  • Severe dehydration signs appear, such as extreme thirst, little or no urination, and severe dizziness.
  • Presence of blood in vomit or stool.
  • High fever or severe abdominal pain.
At Monadnock Community Hospital, our experienced healthcare professionals are dedicated to providing the best care for you and your family. We are equipped to diagnose the underlying causes of vomiting and diarrhea and offer tailored treatment plans to ensure a quick recovery.

Ensuring Digestive Health

Regular check-ups and prompt treatment of gastrointestinal symptoms are crucial for maintaining overall health.
