5.Vomiting in Children
Like diarrhea, vomiting can have many causes. Viral infections usually are to blame. In most cases, vomiting gets better in a day or two without any treatment. But it’s important to watch your child for signs of dehydration. Call your child’s pediatrician if your child has a fever or rash, seems dehydrated, or can’t keep down small sips of clear liquids.
6.Feeding Your Sick Child
If your child has been vomiting, stick with a liquid diet for about eight hours. Give them small sips of water or electrolyte solution and freezer pops. After that, feed them small amounts of bland foods, such as rice, toast, applesauce, bananas, and crackers. Return to a normal diet within 24 hours, but avoid spicy or fatty foods for a couple of days. Children who have diarrhea without vomiting can usually continue to eat normally. Make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
