Sick Baby

[caddoqueen]

So Veda has had 4 diarrhea diapers and has thrown up at least 7 times since yesterday. No fever, super congested. We went to the doctor and he said it was just a bug. Is there anything out there you can give a 6 month old (20.13 lbs) for nausea?

Has she thrown up a ton more since visiting the dr? I'd be concerned about dehydration. Is she keeping anything down? I've heard of kids getting zofran but you definitely need an rx.

Eta because words are hard in the morning. I think it would be worth calling the dr back today if she continues to get sick; they may want to give her something. Hope she feels better soon!!

Yesterday was mainly diarrhea and she threw up twice. We went to the doc after the 1st vomit and 4 diapers. She threw up 4 times within an hour this morning after 2 ounces of formula. I am about to head out for some pedialyte as he said if she wouldn't eat to go that route.

Vera is sick too, not that bad but still pretty sick. We've been pushing water and pedialyte, bananas and applesauce. Make sure to keep an eye out for wet diapers if she isn't having any I would take her in again. It's easy for them to get dehydrated when they are this little

Call and ask for zofran. G had an ongoing script for his puking. It will make her tired though.

Thanks ladies.

caddoqueen, I hope she's feeling better soon. Poor babe. Same to Vera, cbear,

Poor thing! There's not much you can do OTC for a 6 month old. I would keep a close eye on her for signs of dehydration. If you can't get ahold of the dr. and are worried you can go to the er and they can give iv fluids. I hope she is feeling better soon.

All these sick babies!
No advice but I hope they get better soon. Poop & puke are no fun.

Veda is doing better. No vomit since yesterday though still having some diarrhea. She never did run any fever and she still doesn't have much of an appetite but she is drinking enough to still have plenty of wet diapers.

Thanks for all the advice and thoughts sent out way.
