B.R.A.T diet. Bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. Crackers are fine. However, food isn't as important as liquids. You don't want him dehydrated. Is he pulling or messing with his ears?

no he is acting like himeself, after he threw up the second time he was in him room running circles around me and climbing all over everything, then he would just calm down and look sick again, i just ran out to get him some pedialite* he is drinking that now

Odds are it's just a bug and he will fight through it. You know your kid better than anyone so if you feel he's normal let him be, but if a fever spikes you can't bring down or he gets worse take him in. As long as he has 1 wet diaper daily and he produces tears when he cries he's fine. If his eyes look sunken or his skin doesnt retract back after a light pinch take him in....I highly doubt he'd get to that point before you noticed something was up, but just in case.

If mine were playing too hard when we picked them up from school and we bundled them up, took them outside, and put them in a warm car, it wasn't unusual for any one of them to throw up. Same thing if they had too much juice or milk and played too hard. Grace will still throw up late at night if her dad feeds her too much sugar and sends her back to us. There are plenty of non-viral things it can be. Next time, tell your MIL to keep pedialyte singles on hand and let him have little sips. It was probably just too much too soon on a queasy tummy.

Also, they say that the high fructose of the BRAT diet does more harm than good by killing the good bacteria in the digestive tract, so it's something to use sparingly.

i'll be damned if i wasnt woke up by Jr vomiting last night at 11pm, then on through the morning at 45min intervals. im way overprotective so i'll post up the dr.'s diagnosis when we return.

god bless.

virus 3-7 days seems to be the norm according to the Dr. keep your little ones hydrated.

god bless.

Yeah mine had a virus last week of school before x-mas. He was affected bout 5 days, he only threw up the 1st day, after that he was just lethargic. Lots of gatoraid and naps.
