    I was gonna say try the Hydralyte icy poles. It's usually the first thing the hospital will give.

    Hope he feels better soon.

    try just giving him sips of water every now and then. when kiddies come into us at work we start them on a trial of fluids and get the parents to give 1.5mls per kg every 10 mins. hydralite is fantastic and i highly recommend you get your DH to grab some from the chemist on his way home. fingers crossed your lo feels better soon xx

    What Teresa said.

    When my LO was ill with a tummy bug the other week, the doctor recommended giving him paedalyte (same as hydralite but for bubs) and giving him 1ml every ten minutes.

    I hope he's gets better soon..... poor wee thing, it just breaks your heart when they are unwell.
