Suggest Treatment For Vomiting In Child
my 1 yr old son has been vomiting off and on all day. I put him to bed like normal he then woke up 2 hours later screaming. I went to his room and he was standibg in his crib. I picked him up and craddled him to get him back to sleep and he pucked a little over a cup of vomit. i cleaned him up and seen there was about a cup of vomit in his crib. i took him to the couch to comfort him and he has puked two more times but only about 1/4 of a cup each time and dry heaved 3 more times. He also has a bad diaper rash that started this afternoon. should I take him to the ER?

Hi,
I guess he had not fallen from height today, and no associated fever or loose stools. At this point, you need not rush to ER. This may be a prodrome of viral fever or gastroenteritis. Now just give him ondansetron suspension 2.5 ml and wait for 1 hour before trying a small feed- if no further vomiting continue same twice daily for 2 days, and give paracetamol in case fever comes. Most likely he will be fine in 2 days. If not getting better or he refuses to feed, kindly take him to doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
