Ds had a tummy bug. cant keep anything down.
He has been given a suppository to stp the vomiting, and another for temperature.

He has the motillum at about 5pm.
Can he have the paracetamol one now?
Does there have to be a gap between suppositories? Does one need to dissolve or whatever, before putting in the other type?

Have zero experience with this, neither has anyone in family.

Thanks, thats kinda what I was thinking. He has perked up in the last 5 mins. The constant vomiting has totally drained him.
