Does my four year old need to go to the doctor?
Yesterday while my daughter was with the sitter she happened to drink some orange juice that sat out all night. Ever since this she has been throwing up non stop, all through the night even. She probably has had about 3 hours sleep total. She can't keep anything down, no food no water or pedialyte.... absolutely nothing. so should I take her to hte doc or will they send us home? Help please.

You don't need to go to the doctors just keep giving her water even though she throws it up she will stop soon and be as good as new Remember LOTS OF WATER

Check for the signs of hydration to make sure that she doesn't get de-hydrated.
And try small sips and let them sit (like 1/4 - 1/8 cup of water every half hour) before giving more.
Better to have a little stay in than alot not stay in.

See really most orange juice isnt going to go that far bad to make a person sick just the next day. So I think you should take her in and have them check her out as it could be something entirely different.

If your daughter was fine before she drunk the spoiled orange juice and now she is all sick after, i would say take her to the hospital because you never know something might be wrong and it's better to be safe then sorry. i hope she feels better

I would call her doctors office and ask them what to do. But if she is constantly throwing up I think she needs medical attention.

It's probably not serious, but I would take her to the doctor anyways.

Atleast call for advice. Small children can get dehydrated very quickly.

Usually when I'm not sure, I call and speak with the nurse. She can usually tell me whether they need to be seen or not.

You should take her too the doctors because she will end up getting dyhdrated. Take her now to the doctors...

At the very least, call your pediatrician for advise.
