Hi, I am concerned about my daughter who is 6 yrs old. She has vomiting problems for four days now. No temperature, or aches, just whatever she eats she vomits it. What is going on?
Hi, my daughter is a picky eater and still she vomits from time to time. Usually, in these situations I give her some probiotics, since I consider it to be due to some viral inestinal infection. It would go away in a few days. You should rehydrate your child and provide sufficient ammount of water and minerals. There are special powders which mixed with water are used for rehydration. It could be also some yeast infection, in this case probiotics and antibiotics will be inefficient and you need Nystatin, Diflucan, Myconasole or some other antimycotic.
Is there any congestion in the nose of throat? My son was giving Zyrtec recently because he was having several days in a row of vomiting because the snot was settling on his tummy and when he would eat it would come back up but he never had a fever or anything just to much congestion.
