Is Vomiteb Syrup Safe for Prolonged Use in Children? - #22690
I am dealing with a pretty weird issue lately and I'm not sure what to do. So, about a month ago, my little one caught a nasty stomach bug. The doctor prescribed vomiteb syrup, and initially, it really seemed to help with the nausea. But just last week, I noticed he started to get super fidgety and kinda hyper! Isn't that weird? I'm really worried if the vomiteb syrup is causing some side effects. Like, I thought it was supposed to be safe, but now I'm second-guessing. Should I be concerned about using vomiteb syrup for longer? Is there anything else I can give to help him without these issues? Any advice would be super helpful!

Doctors’ responses
When using Vomiteb syrup, especially for a longer duration, it’s possible to observe some side effects, even though it initially helped your child’s nausea. While it’s an effective remedy, every child may react differently, and prolonged use isn’t typically recommended without physician guidance. Hyperactivity and fidgeting can sometimes occur as side effects, although they’re not widely common. If you’ve noticed such symptoms, it’s wise to pause its use and consult with your doctor to explore any alternative options.
For a gentler Ayurvedic approach, consider supporting your child’s digestive health. Focus on bolstering Agni, the digestive fire, which plays a crucial role in processing food and fighting off infections. Start with simple changes like ginger tea, (just a mild infusion) a teaspoon of fresh ginger juice mixed with honey can be quite soothing and settle the stomach. Ensure your child drinks this warm herbal tea, sips throughout the day.
Dietarily, include foods that are easy to digest and nourishing, such as moong dal khichdi (blended rice and lentil porridge) with a pinch of cumin or coriander for mild spice – but, not too much! These can balance Vata dosha, which often contributes to nausea when it’s disturbed. Paying attention to hydration is important, as staying hydrated helps maintain digestive balance.
Avoid giving heavy, oily, salty, or overly sweet foods as they can further aggravate the existing condition. Make sure he gets enough rest, and avoid overstimulating activities, emphasis on a calm environment.
Ultimately, if symptoms worsen or don’t improve, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from a pediatrician to ensure safer alternatve and thorough care. Remember, taking a holistic and cautious approach to your child’s treatment will achieve the best results.
