The basic part of treatment is to avoid Dehydrtion, this is achieved via sips of oral rehydratiin therapy or chicken and beef soup but in severe cases intravenous fluids are given in the hospital.
Fruit juice and frizzy drinks are avoided as they can worsen disease in children. If the child is vomiting allow small sips till well tolerated then graduate to bland diets like pap and eko without milk. Avoid sweets, coffee and milk products.
