She as also been sick each night. but no diarhoea. But she'd as been worse today just lying n sofa and has eaten nothing and hardly drinking as she says it will give her tummy ache. Don't know what to do. Suzanne

Hi,

Children when suffer from infections do become picky and loose appetite.During this period :
keep her diet light ,give her lots of liqiuds in the form of juices ,rehydration solution and
lots of fruits.

Watch out for urine output if it becomes inadequate then get her assessed by her doctor.At present continue with the medications for UTI and also could give her antacids to avoid tummy aches.

Hope to have answered your query.
Take Care.
