Question: Sick daughters..i need answers please.?
My 16,17, and 19 daughters are sick. They all have the same symptoms. Cold, tired, bad stomach aches, and that feeling like they might throw up. They are all laying down on couches in the same room so we can keep an eye on them better. They are very close and are helping each other with everything. My husband went out to buy heating pads for their stomachs. They are so miserable what else can we do to help them.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Uh, well I'm a doctor and heating pads won't work. The best thing for them to do is to give them each two asprin and a glass of orange juice mixed with Sprite or 7-up. If they do vomit, give her about three or four saltine crackers or a piece of toast to cleanse the palette. Remember, vomitting will get rid of whatever sort of bug is in their stomach, so think of that in a positive way. Let them just relax for a few days home from school, laying on the couch, watching movies, reading, homework etc. Make sure they all get plently of sleep too. It sounds like the common flu. They should be better in a few days. When in doubt, take them to the doctor. Best wishes. Health Question & Answer
make sure that they drink water about every hour so they don't get dehydrated. It sounds like they have the flu and so the only thing that you can do is make sure that they keep some food in their system to give energy to fight off the virus.Health Question & Answer
