My 3 yr old son started vomiting 9 days ago.
He only has 1 episode of sickness at night/early hours and will keep retching until there is nothing left in his system....every night!
He has also had about 6 bouts or diarrhea in that time. Today it is like clear water O_O
Last week he was fine during the day, eating and drinking like normal. The past 3 days he is refusing to drink and the most I can get in him per day is around 400/500 mls.
We have been to see 2 GPs, both of which have said we just need to ride it out.
I am just so worried it has been going on so long and now he's not getting the fluids he needs.
We have tried sitting him up to sleep, putting him to bed earlier and later.
In regards to fluids, I have tried re-hydration salts, his favorite drinks (Fruit Shoots), squash, water, Ice pops, Ice cream....pretty much all I can think of and he still won't take or spits it out.
I've tried the BRAT diet, letting him eat what he wants, giving him just fruit....I am literally at my wits end with what to try next :(
I'm now thinking of not giving him any food and just trying to flush out his system, hoping the lack of solid food will make him drink because he is hungry.
As lovely as the GP I saw yesterday was, I was made to feel like I was over reacting because, as per normal, my little man decided to act like he was absolutely fine and climb all over the place. As soon as we got home he's all lethargic and just vegged on the sofa.
Any advice or reassurance that 9 days is normal would be greatly appreciated as I pulling my hair out here :(
Thanks in advance.
