My 13 mo old daughter has been throwing up everything for the past two days. We took her to the ER and they gave us nausea pills and x-rayed her lungs and found nothing. The pills seem to work for the most part but not entirely. I plan on taking her to her ped asap. Is there anything more I can do in the meantime besides hydrating her? She does not have a fever or diarreha. Any ideas?
Hi dear, Which nausea pill was prescribed? If no fever or loose stools, we need not worry. This may suggest gastritis or a viral illness. For such cases, I would have given syrup ondansetron 3ml 3 times a day for 3 days, sometimes with an acid suppressant like lansoprazole. Only resistant cases will need evaluation with an ultrasound and blood workup. Your doctor will guide you.Meanwhile, try giving feeds in smaller than usual amount, more frequently. This will improve retention. Hope I have answered your Quertle me know if I can assist you further Chat Doctor.
