Question:
I have a sick 16 month old on my hands...?
My son has been ill since Sunday morning. He was a little whiney and hard to handle saturday night but we thought it was because we were out all day at a bbq. So sunday morning he threw up a little bit. The rest of the day he was fine... no fever... still ate... still whined a little...but ok. On Monday i took him to daycare (he goes 3 days a week) and about 2:30 they called saying he had diahrea and he just didnt feel good so my we picked him up. He still wasnt running a fever but after eating some bananas monday night, he threw up. So after giving him some pedialite and putting him in bed he slept through the night ok. Here we are to Tuesday,... he threw up just a little bit on my mom this morning but was ok the rest of the day.. a little diahrea but keeping some baby food and pedialite down. Come 5:30 he threw up yet again! Still no fever... and its 9 now with no throwing up or diahrea.... Does anyone have any suggestions to help calm his stomach??? Dr. send me away!
Answers: This is going to sound weird, but it works. Put a small pinch of charcoal in his drink. Charcoal will get rid of the gas and mop up the toxins from the bug your son has. It is found at the pharmacy next to the maalox. Ask the pharmacist, its okay to give to small children. You have to wait 1 hr. before and after giving medications because the charcoal will absorb any medication. My son had constant vomitting and diarrhea and this stopped it cold. You need to take your son to the doc and find out what is going on. Head to urgent care as he could be getting dehydrated if he is not drinking enough and having some diarrhea and vomiting. I suggest you to provide him with some liquid diet and some natural food suppliments.
Any medication to be provided pl. go for Homeopathy.
