How To Help My 2 Years Old Son Who Is Vomiting And Has Face Red And Blotchy?
Hi, my son is almost 2 years old and vomited once yesterday. He s never sick and he threw up everything he ate. I only have a digital thermometer and it says he doesn t have a fever but he really looks like he has one. His face is red and blotchy and he s not eating very much. What can I do to help him?
Your child could be having acute gastroenteritis and his face could be red from the strain of forceful vomiting. You may need to give him some antiemetic like ondansetron syrup as required or before feeds. You would also need to give him ORS (oral rehydration solution) prepared by mixing a full sachet in the designated amount of plain water (200 ml or 1 litre) depending upon the size of the sachet.
If the frequency of passage of urine comes down, it indicates dehydration and you would need to rush the child to the emergency department of a hospital with pediatric facilities.
