Ds is still going through the motions of being sick but his stomach is empty but nothing is coming out

Poor thing!

Usually I would get some settlers or a spoonful of milk of magnesia for myself, not sure if can have this though

I am giving him small amounts of water every 20 minutes or so

any advice would be appreciated or remedies

Thanks

TBH I think you're doing exactly the right thing - just water. You could always give your local pharmacist a quick call and see if they can advise anything....?

Flat, full fat coke is supposed to be great if you've been sick.

It apparently replaces all the minerals/salts you have lost through vomiting. Best to wait a while though if he is still wretching. Water is best at the moment.
