Can you give me some advice, my 27 month old been vomiting all night?
Answer:
Hi my daughter has this gastro thing when she was 1 and we ended up in hospital on a drip for 48 hours!
Don't wanna scare you but she had a fit in the early hours and I panicked and called an ambulance.
Doctor didn't warn me that fitting was possible and it scared the life out of me!!
Fluids is really all you can do, if she gets dehydrated then thats when it can get serious, very, very hard to cope with, I know?
Lots of cuddles, water and sleep!!
Hope she is fine soon.
p.s. My baby's 3 now and perfectly healthy, had no long term effects on her but has on me!!
I would suggest a call again to your Dr or taking your daughter to the nearest hospital A&E for immediate care.
She'll probably get over it. Take her back to the doctor if it doesn''t stop soon.
A&E or NHS Direct
keep trying to get plenty of liquids into your child, even if this appears to trigger the vomiting, it is still a very good idea. Also you can get packets of mineral supplements from your doctor or pharmacist which you can mix with water. This helps replenish the minerals that are lost when a child has vomiting or diarrhoea. do not try to give your child any food other than perhaps bland substances such as rice, bread, etc. I am not a doctor and I doubt anybody else in this forum is, if you are at all worried I would strongly suggest you talk to a medical adviser. The key thing is not to worry too much, every parent will have had the same experience at some point, in my case quite a few times.
if she has Gastro then theres not much you can do but keep giving drinks and no food,if it is getting uncontrollable then call the doctor.The antibiotics may be making it worse,ask your doc for advice.
When they are sick like that, you need to limit the intake of fluids until they can keep it down because by continuing to give fluids only for her to throw up again it will cause dehydration faster. My peditician gave me some great advice. Start with 2 tsps of liquid, NO more, every hour or so - do not increase the amount until she can keep the 2 tsps down. Then gradually increase.
Hope she feels better soon!
go to the docs
The most important thing is to keep her hydrated - try popsicles and pediolite. If she is begging for food by all means give her something...soup or anything light...even if it comes back up...if she is hungry you cannot deprive her just to keep her from vomiting. If she does not come out of it soon I would take her to the emergency room. She may be having a reaction to the antibiotics she is on. Good luck with your daughter.
I would contact the doctor again and make him or her aware of new developments and ask for more advice. Wake her after a couple of hours and give her more fluid, its a tough call...but I would rather have her tired rather than dehydrated.
Hope she gets better soon

GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!
WOW..
call the doctor again..you cant be too carefull with kids..tell him she is in pain
Go to a doctor! We're not medically qualified and you shouldn't be taking risks by wasting time asking us!
phone your docs, they normally speak to you when a child is corcerned. i'd say 10 hrs is a bit long.
if she were my child i would take her back to the doctors, perhaps she is allergic to the antibiotic, anyway i would not play about with gastroenteritis it can get nasty
Have you tried the BRAT diet? It is
Bananas, Rice, Apple Sauce and Toast.
These items are easy on the tummy and will usually stay down. With gastroenteritis it can help to be slightly elevated. Try having your baby propped on pillows or slightly sitting up. Also remember that an ear infection can also make you nauseous especially if it is an inner ear infection. Try to keep her from making too fast of head movements or getting up too quickly.
Best of Luck!
Try popsicles. It is a good way to get small amounts of fluid in her over a longer period of time.
just give her water 4 at least 24 hours
.. no juice but it might be better to see doc again
I would see if there's a pattern to her vomitting, such as hot or cold drinks. You can try popsicles, but I often found that warm liquids were more soothing to my kids' tummies, such as warm tea, chicken broth, or you can take hot water and mix in a couple spoonfulls of dry jello powder for flavor, then just let it cool a bit for her to drink it warm. I would go first with the warm jello drink, then later try the broth. Good luck!! Having a little one sick is almost as hard on the mom as the kid since we feel so bad for them.
Sorry to hear about your little one.
Pedialite is the best thing if not water. Juice has too much sugar and will actually make things worse. Gatorade is the same. You might try some Gingerale. The natural kind with real Ginger. It seems to help with most nausea.
When you think she might be able to eat, I would try the B.R.A.T. diet.
Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast
(My grandmother was a nurse and this was their code for bland diets)
Also yogurt (real stuff not the kids multicolored junk), helps when you are taking antibiotics, because the medication kills not just the bad infection but also the good bacteria that naturally occur in the body/intestines. Yogurt helps replenish some of that.
Good luck!
my child went through something similiar when he was a toddler. Every fifteen min he was throwing up. Took to the doctor and he said it was a virus and just had to work through it. Try small amounts of liquid every few min. Popsciles, jello, broth, apple juice (nothing like orange juice). I didn't know it at the time but supposedly there is a suppository that can be used for nausea ask the doctor about that.
Maybe the medication that she took got her sick and if she continues to puke for the next day then bring her to the ER!
