Abstract:
Diarrhea and vomiting in infancy are not common complaints in the life of a busy Canadian family practitioner, but when they do occur the person caring for the infant is usually apprehensive, frustrated and concerned, deserving one's immediate attention. Although the condition is usually acute and self-limiting, its serious consequences make it imperative that investigation be adequate and surveillance strictly followed. Most children with this complaint can be managed at home. Prevention through parental education should be stressed.
