My 19 mo is vomiting? Help!?

Question

She woke up yesterday throwing up (It was just water) and then she ate (not as much as she regularly does, but she ate good) and no more vomiting yesterday. This morning she did it again, just water, but today she's not eating much. She's had a glass of juice and she just ate a pear. I'm also giving her some chamomile tea. Her Pedi told me to gave her Plasil (metoclopramide) every 8 hrs and to avoid dairy today. Any other suggestion or advice is greatly appreciated? I also don't know why she is having this episodes! Thanks!

Answer 1

My nephew woke up vomiting sometimes, it turned out he had mild acid reflux. My sister elevated the top of his mattress slightly (I think she put a phone book under the top of the mattress) and it solved the problem

Answer 2

Have her rest alot and take it easy. Make sure since she is vomiting that she gets alot of fluids like Pedilyte or watered gatorade. You could also give her jello as that helps keep one hydrated while sick. While she is sick, keep her diet pretty basic and plain. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. (BRAT diet) .. Good luck. Hope she feels better soon.  

Answer 3

Your pediatrician seems right on. No need to ask any further info.

Answer 4

Awwee poor baby. Try Pedilyte Popsicles. They will help her stomach, and hydrated. Or the Pedilyte juice is just as good, but the popsicle is so cold that it feels good on her little throat. Since I am sure is sore due to throwing up. So,,hopefully that will work.Good luck.

Answer 5

If you work or if she is left with someone else.  Check her private parts, in fact her whole body to make sure she is not being abused.

Answer 6

Just make sure she takes it easy...maybe set her up on the couch with some movies and lie down with her...nothing more you can really do except make her as comfortable as possible..

good luck
