My son is 13 months and this morning after breakfast he threw up....?

Question

I gave him some water and an hour later he had a watery diareah diaper, he fell asleep he woke up 2 1/2 hours later and had some lunch and then he was fine at about 4:00 he took another 2 hour nap and when I went to pick him up out of his crib and he was covered in throw up and he had some diareah as well any sugg on what to do or what it may be?

Answer 1

Get some pedialyte and don't give him any milk products. I would only serve him saltine crackers, toast, etc. Things that are easy on the tummy. If he's still throwing up, just stick to the pedialyte until he's over it. Good luck. Having a little one sick is HORRIBLE!! Take care!

Answer 2

When anyone throws up, you should with hold anything to eat or drink for at least an hour. Then start the brat diet at that age. (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast is what I give my daughter)

Pedialyte is a good suggestions after that hour of waiting. With out knowing what he ate I can't help much more than that. If he has diarreah for more than 24 hours or vomits more than four times in a couple of hours you need to call his doctor.

Hope he feels better!

Answer 3

Sounds like the flu, maybe food poisoning but a 13 month's diet is usually pretty tame, I be more convinced it's the flu.
Check for fever and use tylenol or motrin if needed. Pedialyte is always a good choice. Give plenty of fluids and bland foods. For the diarrhea use the BRAT diet. (Bananas, Rice, Apples, Toast). Give lots of love and hugs, and read books together when he doesn't feel like playing. Give it time to run it's course, he'll be up and playing in a couple of days.

Answer 4

He probably has what's know as rotavirus. It's the most common cause of infantile diarrhea. Almost everyone in the world (95%) has been infected with this type of virus as a child. It causes vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and dehydration (from the diarrhea). It's self-limiting (48 hours) and the only recommended treatment is rehydration therapy like Pedialyte. If his mouth looks dry, you may want to see a physician.

Answer 5

It sounds like a stomach bug or even something he ate. Keep him hydrated and call his pediatrician. If he isn't any better by tomorrow morning or it gets worse over the next few hours, take him to the ER because if he is having diarrhea and vomiting he could be losing hydration. Check his temp. too. Good luck and just be there for him. Wash your hands often and change his sheets and clothes as needed.

Answer 6

It's probably just the flu. My daughter has had it a few times, she is 2. Try and get as many liquids down him is you can so he doesn't get dehydrated. If he doesn't get better with a day or 2 take him to the doctor

Answer 7

First of all, don't panic. You need to be calling his pediatrician. I would see what fluids they reccomend , and you might need to get him an appointment. there is a nast stomach virus going around so be careful yourself. be sure ytou watch him, cause, i don't want to scare you , but he can choke on his throw up.

Answer 8

Take him to his doctor or walk-in-clinic. Try to remember what he has eaten and where for the last 2-3 days as the doctor will be asking you.

Answer 9

give him pedialyte, you son will not be normal for some days. He is lethargic, and needs the sleep. I would give him gummy vitamins, no dairy since it is thick. Ibuprofen, and just keep on washing his sheets, make him feel comfortable

Answer 10

sounds like a bug or an infection. Take him to his pediatrician as soon as possible to to the ER. With a baby that young it has to be taken seriously.
