Many times, after taking viral medicine, such symptoms are seen. You should consult a pediatrician. In Ayurvedic medicine, you can give 5 ml of Balachaturbhadrika syrup in the morning and evening for 5 days.

The symptoms described in your son's case—reduced appetite after viral illness, vomiting, occasional back pain, gas, and some coughing—are not uncommon in children recovering from viral infections. Post-viral fatigue and appetite loss can linger due to the body's energy being focused on recovery, and digestive issues might arise from the viral impact or medication use. Vomiting may indicate ongoing mild irritation or digestive upset, and occasional back pain can sometimes be related to viral myositis, a mild muscle pain condition after viral infections. The coughing, if mild, could be a residual post-viral cough which typically resolves gradually. Key points to consider: Loss of appetite after viral illness is common and usually temporary. Ensure hydration with small sips of fluids. Offer bland, easy-to-digest foods in small but frequent amounts. Monitor for signs of dehydration or worsening symptoms. Back pain post viral infection can rarely be viral myositis, which is usually self-limiting. Mild cough after viral infection can persist for weeks without severe complications. However, because your son is vomiting and complains of back pain, it is important to monitor carefully. If vomiting is persistent, if he shows signs of dehydration (less urination, dry mouth, lethargy), or if back pain worsens or is severe, seek medical care promptly. Also, sudden severe abdominal pain or changes in bowel pattern despite normal stools may warrant evaluation. In summary, your son's symptoms could be part of a normal post-viral recovery phase involving appetite loss, mild digestive disturbance, and residual cough. Supportive care with hydration, gentle nutrition, and symptom monitoring is key. If symptoms worsen or fail to improve, prompt clinical evaluation is necessary.

"Loss of appetite and vomiting after viral recovery indicate weak digestion (ajirna) and gas formation. Ayurveda helps restore appetite and digestion safely in kids with mild herbs, diet correction, and digestive tonics. Avoid heavy, fried foods; give light, warm, homemade meals. I suggest you consult me for a personalized plan for your child.
