My DS (13 months) has been vomiting since Saturday night and hasn't kept anything down since Sunday bekkie including water and breastmilk. He woke at 4am for his usual breastfeed but I didn't give it because I was worried he would vomit, he was very distressed and hungry he woke at 6 retching and his little tummy/body was heaving but there was nothing to bring up.
I called the Healthdirect line last night and the nurse said tsps of clear fluid for 8 hours today , water I guess, because he won't drink hydralyte etc. But he wants more than a tsp and becomes very distressed. She said it should last 12/24 hours but it's already longer? Should I see a doc or will can they even do anything? Will he dehydrate? Heviscalready more lethargic than usual but then he is sick? I can't explain to him he can't have more water or food, or boobie! It's awful
Any advice gratefully received!
Personally i'd be going to the dr. Is he still having wet nappies? If he isn't dehyrated yet i'm guessing that they will just suggest the fluids. If he is getting dehydrated dr may want to admit him for IV fluids. Hope he feels better soon hun. big to both of you. xxx
