Vomiting DS (5) - how long without liquids?

DS(5) being sick since 6am. Hadn't had much dinner last night so nothing to throw up - its greeny/yellow now (sorry if TMI)

Not even keeping water down and not sure what to do - never had this before.

Thanks

Sorry to hear that :( and hope he feels better soon.
The best thing to do is give a teaspoon (5ml) of water every 15mins (by teaspoon or syringe). Even if it appears that he is bringing it up at least half will probably stay down.

Thanks for that.
He has been drinking a bit, just bit concerned about how long it would take to get dehydrated.

Got through to NHS Direct when MN wasn't forthcoming and got a quick response Shock Just have to sit it out and hope no-one else gets it.
