Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is 9 she last ate @ 6pm yesterday then went to a sleep over and only had goldfish and went to sleep @ 3am and woke up this morning @ 9am and soon told the sleepover mom she felt dizzy the lady thought they were hungry and was going to take them to breakfast my daughter vomited in the ladies car on the way to breakfast so she canceled breakfast and took her to us where she ate and then slept now she is up and still gets dizzy she said when she drinks something she can sit up ok
Dear madam, Dizziness can be caused by a myriad of things. It can be due to a pertubation in the structures in the body that help us know our position in 'space' and stand upright (what is refered to as postion sense) or may be due to pertubation in blood flow in the body or when the total amount of fluids in our body drops for example as a result to repeated fluid loss through vomiting or watery stools. Toxins released by bugs when they get into the body or some subtances the body releases to fight bugs or their toxins can also case affect our nervous system, blood vessels or other organs and cause dizziness.
Your daughter may have had food poisoning or some allergic reaction from something she ate which may be the cause of vomiting and resulting diziness due to body fluid loss, the reason she feels better when she takes fluids.
As such give her lots of fluids especially natural fruit juices and oral rehydration solution. If the symptoms persist in next few hours please go see a doctor.
Hope this helps. Wish her quick recovery.
