Suggest Treatment For Persistent Nausea In A Child

hi my 4 year old daughter went to her babysitter this morning feeling perfectly fine and after breakfast started vomiting and has been non stop vomiting all day and still vomiting up liquids this evening. We have given her pedialyte, about 1/2 cup over the last hour and has not had food since 12pm. Is this type of vomiting normal for a toddler? She has had viruses before but nothing ever to this extent. At what point is too much?

Hi...by what you quote I feel that the kid is having prodrome of watery diarrhea (Starting stage). If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron as prescribed by your pediatrician.

If diarrhea starts - it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.
