Help My Daughter Keeps Vomiting

Call the doctor back and let him know she is still throwing up. And ask if the test results are in yet. It really should only take a day for the results to be in, but labs get busy and may put your daughters off, the doc needs to have a rush put on them. Make sure she stays hydrated in the meantime. I had kidney failure several years ago, which I totally could have avoided (another story). The best thing you can do for her is tons of water and pedialyte (and I mean TONS). Have her drinking almost all the time. This will also help flush anything out of her system. Sorry you have to go thru this!! Hope she starts feeling better soon.

yea, no milk, no salty foods, no greasy foods, nothing with spice or flavor, basically. I would stay away from juice, too, because she needs fluids that are more hydrating (like water or pedialyte- not gatorade, the carbs (ie sugar) in gatorade are there for atheletes to replenish energy, but simple hydration is more important in your daughter's case). Stick with water, toast, crackers, maybe a banana if that sounds good to her. If she really starts to feel better try eggs- I always think that's a crazy suggestion, but it's what my mom gave us when we were sick, and if you think about it it's bland, but good protein to help keep energy up. Chicken soup, too, is the best thing in the world. I know they can't prove it actually has healing properties for sure, but I know it just plain makes me feel better when I'm yucky. But focus on keeping her hydrated and not as much on worrying about weight loss.

When the doc's say bland food they mean bland. White or brown rice with nothing else...no sauce! I would recommend sticking strictly to the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast). Those food tend to cause the stomach little to no upset but still provide nutrition. You can add a little bit of butter to the rice and toast but I wouldn't over do it. Jell-o should be fine but I would stick to simple cherry or strawberry and nothing crazy. Of course a lot of water or Pedialyte water, plain popsicles (nothing with ice cream) and no milk. Totally push the no added sugar cranberry juice cocktail watered down for the urinary tract (don't go sugar free because it has aspartame). Always remember when you have a child vomiting you must keep them hydrated with fluids...you don't want a dehydrated child and when they are vomiting or have diarrhea they tend to get dehydrated quickly. I am sure she will be fine but you need to keep in mind what you are feeding her.

I agree with the doctor nothing gressy my son who is 4yrs old also had that about 6 months ago. i only gave him wheat bread with no butter with a little jam. dry cereal and watermelon for about 3 days. He had no fever nothing untill he threw up he lost about 3 lbs but gained it all back in about 2 weeks after he felt better. i gave him his vitamins everyday and with alot of fluids. no apple juice.oh and no milk. but i am not a doctor my son just had the same thing and it worked for him.hope it helps.
