Very important questions: 1 Age? the younger the easier it is to get dehydrated. 2. Other symptoms? Fever? Headache? abdominal pain? May need to go to ER 3. For how long? Is it getting better or continuing? 4. Can she keep fluids down at all once the vomiting subsides? If not, may need to fo to ER. 5. Is this projectile or regular vomiting? 6. Do you have a reason that you can think of for this? (Ate all the ice cream etc) or is this totally unexpected? 7. How does she look otherwise? Truly ill or just like someone vomiting? Other illness signs with vomiting may call for an ER visit. Good luck and best with kids is to err on the side of caution.

I am soo sorry to hear that! I feel bad for both of you! I remember when I was a kid.. I feel so sorry for my rents! For not just make sure she's comfortable and that if she has a fever, some aspirin. Try giving her some pepto, or some antacids if you havent already. Be sure she drinks some water, enough so that she can hold it down. I also suggest going to the store and looking in the pediatrics section for any drinks you could give her. If it keeps up every two minutes for more than an hour, or you start seeing blood, take her to the doctor. Right now though, I think its best that she tries to get her sytem clean. Dont try forcing her a bunch of food, especially dairy because that can make it worse. Instead give her poweraide or drinks with b-vitamins. If the throwing up quits or lightens up, just keep and eye on her and if she's still feeling sick after three days the definately get her checked out. Again, Im soo sorry for the both of you, and I hope some of this helps! Take care! :)

kids do that sometimes. The important thing is not to give her anything at all, not even water for a good eight hours after the last time she vomits, this gives her tummy a chance to relax. Then start with sips of water, if she tolerates that, get some pedialyte and let her have that. After another eight hours of clear liquids you can offer soft foods. If she has a fever, give her baby aspirin, it dissolves in the mouth and doesn't require swallowing.

If she is seriously throwing up every 2 minutes then why are you on the computer asking people for advice? Nobody here knows your child's health history so we are not qualified to give you advice on something that could be so serious. Call your Dr. and get real advice, that;s what they are there for.

call or take your child to the doctor asap. on your way pick up some pedialyte, if your child doesnt like that drink (which most kids dont) get them some gatorade. my pediatrician recommends it for dehydrated children. it gives back all the electrolytes they need. i hope your child feels better, good luck!

she probably has some type of bug.this should subside within a day or two.give her something for her nausea such as childrens gravel or ask the pharmacy its important to keep her hydrated (lots water) longer than a day of vomiting could be dangerous check with a doctor if condition persists.

I'd take her to emergency if she's throwing up every two minutes. At times like this it's better to be safe than sorry.

get some suppostories from the local drug store, and you know what to do then. give it a little while and see if that helps. if not, take her to the doctor asap.
