my son was like that a few weeks ago and we let him drink a lot of water so he will rehydrate or give her some energy drink. i dont think she will like to eat if she vomits. does she do this freguently? i think it is better for you to bring her in the hospital. here in the pinas they might call that impacho. when kids have this feeling they really vomit.

yes i know the word impacho but i dont think its impacho.maybe the weather change because it was very cold and dark then next day it was sunshine and the weather temprature was mild and now back to freezing again.anyway thanks for the tips and so far this morning she is fine.but we said if she will carry on vomitting we will bring her to the doctor.

This might have happened because of really bad food poisoning! Did she eat fastfood this week? That could have caused this problem, I hope she gets well soon..

i would give him some light soups.it is always better to not feed the kid solids as it will induce more vomiting.a glass of lemon juice is better,the sourness helps to reduce the vomiting

At first I think I will take my child to go to see a doctor if he vomits. Then I will give him the food which is easy to digest, such as the congee or noodles. I love China

First of all I would suggest taking the child to the doctor if you do not know what is wrong as it can be very dangerous to vomit a lot, not only is there something wrong but it can mess up your insides and cause more serious problems...and while you are waiting for the time to come to take the child to the doctor, warm tea and dry toast is a good temporary solution or even warm tea and tea biscuits. ;)

Give her pedialyte(sp?) to keep her hydrated, and then stick to the BRAT diet- Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast(dry), bland foods. HTH!

I would keep the five year old daughter on liquids only. Water, seven up or broth. Don't give her food unless she is hungry and asks you for it.

How old is your child? Do you think that vomiting was caused by a food indigestion or intolerance? If in doubt I would consult my family doctor immediately.

Hi, bombshell! I would wait until their vomiting eases. I may give them gingerale, jello and water. Anything clear will do. If my child is younger in age, then I will give them Pedialyte. This replaces all of the fluids that they have lost from vomiting. It keeps them from getting too dehydrated. And some warm bland toast with nothing on it, will help to ease the vomiting. Try these, I hope that they will feel better after this.

Well, this might be because of food poisoning or another factor might be that he's got an illness of some sort, I suggest that you make him drink lots of water, he should intake water equal to that which has been vomited, so as to keep him hydrated, water loss is somthing serious.
