How do I know if my child is dehydrated?
Warning signs of dehydration in children are: fewer wet nappies or no urine for 6–8 hours, dry mouth and tongue, no tears when crying, sunken eyes, unusual drowsiness, and a sunken soft spot in babies. A child showing these signs, or one who vomits back every sip of ORS, needs a pediatrician the same day.

Understanding
What Causes Vomiting & Diarrhea in Children?
Viral gastroenteritis — including rotavirus in unvaccinated infants (the most common cause)
Food-borne bacterial infections, more frequent in summer and monsoon
Contaminated water — a recurring Gurgaon problem in the rains
Antibiotic-associated loose stools
In infants: overfeeding or feed intolerance can mimic infection
Rarely, surgical causes — which is why green vomiting and severe pain always need review
Our approach
How We Care for Your Child at Siraa Health
Assess hydration first
The examination that matters most: how dry is this child? That answer drives everything else.
ORS, taught properly
Small sips every few minutes beats a full glass that comes right back up. We show you exactly how, with amounts for your child's weight.
Zinc and the right diet
Zinc shortens diarrhea in children. Food continues — starving a child with diarrhea is outdated and harmful.
Medicines used judiciously
Anti-vomiting medicine when it enables oral rehydration; antibiotics only for specific bacterial infections — never routinely.
Evidence-based care
Every decision guided by the latest pediatric science

Parent stories
What families say
“Our son was not saying a single word at 2.5. Within four months at Siraa he was putting two and three words together. The parent coaching made the biggest difference.”
Priya M.

“We were told to wait and see. We did not, and I am so glad. The therapist identified exactly what was holding him back. Six months later he is chatting non-stop.”

“What sets Siraa apart is that they treat you as a partner, not just a parent dropping off a child. Every session I left feeling more capable and less worried.”

Questions
What parents usually ask us
How much ORS should I give my child?+
As a rule of thumb, give 10 ml per kg of body weight after each loose stool or vomit — for a 10 kg child, about 100 ml, offered as small sips over 10–15 minutes. Continue normal feeds alongside. If vomiting persists beyond a few hours despite slow sips, see a doctor.
Should I stop milk during diarrhea?+
No. Continue breastfeeding fully, and most children can continue normal milk and dairy. Stopping feeds weakens the child without shortening the illness. Only a minority develop temporary lactose intolerance, which your pediatrician can identify.
Do children with diarrhea need antibiotics?+
Rarely. Most childhood diarrhea is viral, and antibiotics don't help — they can even prolong some infections. Antibiotics are reserved for specific situations such as dysentery (blood in stool) or cholera-like illness, diagnosed by a doctor.
What should my child eat during a stomach infection?+
Keep feeding normal, easy foods: khichdi, curd rice, dal, banana, chapati, soups. The old advice to rest the gut is wrong — continued feeding helps the intestine recover faster. Avoid juices, fried food and colas until fully recovered.
