Diarrhoea and vomiting
Diarrhoea and vomiting are common in adults, children and babies. They’re often caused by a stomach bug and should stop in a few days.
The advice is the same if you have diarrhoea and vomiting together or separately.
You can usually treat yourself or your child at home. The most important thing is to have lots of fluids to avoid dehydration.
DO
stay at home and get plenty of rest
drink lots of fluids, such as water or squash – take small sips if you feel sick
carry on breast or bottle feeding your baby – if they’re being sick, try giving small feeds more often than usual
give babies on formula or solid foods small sips of water between feeds
eat when you feel able to – you do not need to eat or avoid any specific foods
take paracetamol if you’re in discomfort – check the leaflet before giving it to your child
DON’T
do not have fruit juice or fizzy drinks – they can make diarrhoea worse
do not make baby formula weaker – use it at its usual strength
do not give children under 12 medicine to stop diarrhoea
do not give aspirin to children under 16
In adults and children:
- diarrhoea usually stops within 5 to 7 days
- vomiting usually stops in 1 or 2 days
IMPORTANT
Stay off school or work until you’ve not been sick or had diarrhoea for at least 2 days.
To help avoid spreading an infection:
DO
wash your hands with soap and water frequently
wash any clothing or bedding that has poo or vomit on it separately on a hot wash
clean toilet seats, flush handles, taps, surfaces and door handles every day
DON’T
do not prepare food for other people, if possible
do not share towels, flannels, cutlery or utensils
do not use a swimming pool until 2 weeks after the symptoms stop

Product Details
Product Information
Pepto-Bismol can be taken by most adults and young people from the age of 16 years.
Do not take this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Pepto-Bismol is not suitable for some people. To make sure this medicine is safe for you, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have:
- had an allergic reaction to Pepto-Bismol, aspirin or any other medicines in the past
- an allergy to amaranth or aspartame
- a problem with blood clotting
- diabetes

Pepto-Bismol liquid and tablets both contain a colouring called amaranth. Some people can have an allergic reaction to amaranth.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Do not take Pepto-Bismol if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
It’s best to try to treat your indigestion without taking a medicine. It can help to:
- eat smaller meals and more often
- avoid fatty or spicy foods, and avoid alcohol and cigarettes
- raise one end of your bed a little, so your head is higher than your stomach
- avoid lying down immediately after eating
- drink water between meals rather than with meals
If this advice does not work, speak to your doctor or a pharmacist. They will be able to recommend the most suitable medicine for you and your baby.
Cautions with other medicines
Pepto-Bismol contains salicylates (also found in aspirin) and can interfere with certain other medicines.
To make sure Pepto-Bismol is safe for you, tell your doctor or a pharmacist if you are taking:
- blood thinners (anticoagulants)
- tablets or other oral medicines for diabetes
- medicine for gout
- doxycyline or minocycline, or any other tetracycline antibiotics
If you’re taking tetracycline antibiotics, you need to leave a 2-hour gap before taking Pepto-Bismol.
It’s safe to take paracetamol at the same time as Pepto-Bismol. Do not take other painkillers, like ibuprofen or aspirin, with Pepto-Bismol without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. This could make your symptoms worse.
