Talk to me about Stomach bugs and 2 yo

My DD has her first bout of the stomach bug-

Woke up at 1 am covered and has been getting sick every 20 - 30 minutes since then. 

she is sleeping now and has been for an hour

At what point would you call the dr? or would you?

I haven't taken her temp yet but she doesn't feel warm.

When do you give fluids/foods?

 

Re: Talk to me about Stomach bugs and 2 yo

  • I wouldn't call the Dr as long as she has wet diapers. I'd offer her water if she hasn't puked for an hour. Only a couple of sips and see how she does and then go from there. Also, no diary!

  • I do pedialyte, and no food until its been a pretty long time without vomit. They need to drink but dont need to eat. We do sips of liquids or the ice pops and then wait and see what happens and VERY slowly increase the amount. I havent called the Dr when that has happened unless they also would get a raging fever. 
  • When my DD had the bug, she wouldn't even drink water. Someone here mentioned using a medicine dropper to TRY and get something in her. Like PP NO DIARY, not for a while. Stick with the water; we also did watered down gatorade. She did not like peilyte.

    If she is going to the bathroom or has a fever that is when I'd call the dr.

     

    Hope it passes quick.
