Toddler throwing up after gardening

[LoopyLoopsChupaChups]

DD (21 months) and I spent the day gardening today. She did get mucky, and played in the gravel, the soil, the dry leaves etc. She may have put something in her mouth, I have to admit to not being overly vigilant.
This evening she has thrown up twice, really heavily. She is fine and happy in between, but whimpers when she's about to be sick and, well, is. (First time I was holding her. Down my bra, top, jeans, on rug, everything. Never have I been so covered in sick.

As I said, she seems fine, so the plan is to get her cleaned up (again) and put her to bed as normal. I'm just not sure if I should be more concerned, in case she did eat something in the garden. Any advice greatly appreciated. :)

Anyone? She's just been sick again, twice. :(

How awful. Unlikely to be much in the way of poisonous berries/plants around at this time of year. Have you used anything like slug pellets?

My DS2 (19 months) has eaten firelighters and a loo rim block in the past couple of months - from what I can make out as long as they are alert and breathing normally then that is good.

What's she like now?

I don't want you post going unanswered. Ring NHS direct or go to A&E. Sorry I can't be more help, what does your gut instinct say?
Has she any temperatures?

Sick again, a few times. Up now with us, doesn't want to go to bed (woke up freaked out being sick). Chirpy enough, not in pain or anything.

Waiting for NHS direct callback.

She does seem fine, but has been very very sick. Gut instinct is to cry! I'm knackered and I know it'll be another sleepless night. I think she'll be fine, just not sure what to do to help her.

Just keep cuddling her, it's so scary when they're sick like that, where does it all come from? Is she taking any fluids?

You're doing the right thing, ringing NHS direct etc. Am sure it's probably coincidence about the gardening and she's probably got a bug, I know there's a nasty one going around here at the moment.
Keep her hydrated and keep an eye on her.
My DD had this a few weeks ago (20 months old) and I just kept cleaning her up, changing her bed clothes, giving her a drink and a cuddle, then putting her back to bed. It saw itself out. She was chirpy in between vomits too, and was so tired (threw up first at 2am, then twice more in the night) that once cleaned and watered, went back to bed without a fuss.
Am hoping you'll have an ok night, as she's been so sick so far, she may well have nothing left fairly soon and will just sleep it off.
Good luck.

taking water but throwing it back up. seems fine again, but was sick again a mo ago.

Ok, just keep offering water and keep her with you. She will def be empty soon and probably very tired. Whatever it is that's upsetting her, it's coming out, so that's a good sign. No pain or temperature is also a good sign.
I ended up with DD in our bed after the 3rd throw up, just so I could be sure she was ok. Might be worth taking her to bed with you tonight for your peace of mind.

Hope your dd feels better soon, could it have been heat-stroke? I had heat-stroke once as a child and was really ill. It has been really hot here today.

Foaming vomit now :(

In shade all day almost.

It CAN'T be heatstroke, surely? It's MARCH!

Probably a bug but I would get her checked out

its boiling here, been walking around in just t-shirt outside today so could be possible. but the foaming doesnt sound good.

teaspoon and some rehydration mix.

Ingredients:

* Half (1/2) teaspoon of Salt
   
* Six (6) teaspoons of Sugar
   
* One Litre of clean drinking or boiled water and then cooled - 5 cupfuls (each cup about 200 ml.)

Preparation Method:

*

  Stir the mixture till the salt and sugar dissolve.

Serve from teaspoon if she won't drink.

Got some diarlyte or whatever it's called. Give her that?

Foaming sounds like bile, so she's nearly empty, poor lamb. Have nhs called back?

Unless there is any possibility of berries (wrong time of year), mushrooms/toadstools, nasty garden chemicals etc I would say treat as a tummy bug, dioralyte, small frequent amounts of fluid, make sure she wees reasonably every 4 hours and doesnt become unusually lethargic. If there is a doubt about about chemicals etc she will need to go to A&E. Bit dark now to search where she was playing! There seems to be an epidemic of tummy bugs in the West Country at the moment, but they are lurking everywhere!

Yes Diarolyte is good but wait til she can keep water down otherwise she won't get the benefit

Thanks for that recipe Colditz, that's really useful, copying and saving for future reference!

Not called back yet. We all had a bad stomach bug only a few weeks ago, but this seems very different, in that she is happy and wants to play in between, plus no diarrhea.

Being sick again. :(

Green.

When my DS had sickness bug the rehydration stuff made him even more sick!
You might do better to ring your out of hours service if you are really worried - I've phoned NHS Direct a couple of times for DS and myself (had tummy bug at 6 weeks pregnant and kept fainting) and it took them more than 8 hours to call back!
It does just sound like a bug though, and as someone else said, at least its coming out!
