wORST WEEK OF MY LIFE *AND* my babay has the squits please please help

[NotAnOtter]

I so need him to be well - what can i give hiim????????

Oh NAO

have you seen the doctor?

I believe they say now if the child wants to eat, give them food

Have heard that too... dry toast? Crackers?

no and i have to take him with me on a very important thing tom and he is pouring poo...

18 months....

want to halt it really if just for a day

is it bananas rice apples toast?

do you mean you want to get something like Imodium to stop it?

yes!! basically

just for the day.....

I don't know

if it is stomach bug I always think it could be dodgy to keep it all in - I mean the bug needs to work itself out doesn't it?

I really don't think you can do anything without gp, sorry

yes i know it is dodgy....

feeldoomed and one day i may be able to tell you about the farce that is my life right now...

thanks anyway f and z

am so sorry

wish I could help

thanks love x

Sorry to hear about your predictament - I think it is what they call sod's law.

I once asked a pharmacist about giving a toddler something for the squits and they said there is nothing except oral rehydration drinks which sometimes help. Something like Dioralyte. Most medication starts at 6yrs.

Some books mention the BRAT diet of banana, rice, apple sauce and toast but sorry F& Z has already mentioned that.

FWIW I asked a doctor about taking Imodium during a bug and he said take it. Your bodies immune system deals with the bug - you don't have to worry about getting rid of it by letting it all 'flow'!

I hope he is miraculously better tomorrow.

I hope you found something to wear tomorrow, and that it all goes well, I also hope that your sons "squits" stop too.

Medised has worked for us before- think it is to do with the anti-histamine in it.
HTH

might be worth a try - thankyou have some medised so if he wakes again may dose!

Thanks for remembering pinkbubbble x

Hows your little one today NAO, also hope it went ok, did think of you!

he cured as quickly as he got it!
week very very surreal cant really say more....but thanks for asking!

Glad things with DS went ok, wont pry any further just hope you got the results that you needed!

thanks everyone
