Vomiting (throwing up) and diarrhea (watery stools or poop) are often caused by a virus (a kind of germ). Although there is no medicine to cure these infections, your child’s body should get rid of the virus in 7-10 days without having to go to a doctor or emergency room. During this time, you will need to make sure they don't lose too much body fluid.
Below you will find resources to help you better understand, cope with and/or support someone with vomiting and diarrhea.
