Diarrhea and vomiting in children pose significant health risks, often stemming from viral or bacterial infections, food intolerances, or other underlying conditions.

These often stem from:

• Food intolerances
• Viral or bacterial infections
• Undetected allergies
• Dehydration
• Consuming contaminated food or water
• Other underlying health conditions

Viral infections (rotavirus or norvovirus) and bacterial (salmonella or E. coli) infections are common culprits of diarrhea and vomiting in children, leading to inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and subsequent symptoms.

Dehydration is a primary concern, especially in cases of severe or prolonged diarrhea and vomiting, necessitating rehydration therapy and medical monitoring to prevent complications.
