HI at the end of a friends and family get together yesterday, my son vomited all that he had eaten. That was at 4.30pm. He vomited through the night and today. I have had him sipping apple juice diluted with soda water. He has had diarhrea (sloppy poo). He has on 2 occassion eaten vegemite on dry toast. On both occassions he has vomitted them. Last time 15 mins ago which is now 24 hours since he stared vomiting. He is again resting. Any thoughts?
Hello dear!I can understand your concern. You didn't tell me the age of the child. Its probably infection of the gut and repeated vomiting are due to electrolyte imbalance. I would advise you to give him prokinetics like risperidone before giving anything by mouth and give him plenty of fluids like ORS to replace electrolyte AMD fluid loss, peditral or rice water(water that we normally throw away after Chat Doctor. Give him green tea made up of a pinch of again(Joan/carom) and 4-5 fresh mint leaves in 250 ml of water after boiling for 2 mins. Give him spy. Definite according to the weight of the child(10\u00a0mg/kg) once daily for 5 days if it doesn't settle with all these measures. Hope it will help. Wishing your child a speedy recovery and a sound health
