A baby's vomiting and diarrhea may be caused by improper feeding or exposure to cold, or it could result from indigestion. Additionally, bacterial infection cannot be ruled out as a possible cause. If the symptoms are due to indigestion, probiotics may be used under a doctor's guidance to provide relief. If they are caused by a bacterial infection, treatment under medical supervision may include smectite powder combined with ribavirin granules.
