normallylurking. Welcome. Sorry you have had to join the thread nobody wants to belong to! You've already had good advice, particularly about rest. A good anti acid can make a big difference. Did the GP prescribe a laxative as Ondansetron can cause such problems with locked up bowels? Don't feel guilty about your daughter; she'll forget this period of comparative neglect - if things others have said on this thread are anything to go by - and a sibling is a priceless gift. Have you got kesostix to check for dehydration? A and E take the measurements seriously, even if they are not as good indicators of dehydration as dry mouth, dark scanty urine and headache, etc? i Some liquids that have helped others are ice lollies, the juice of tinned fruit, flat full sugar coke, Robinson's fruit drinks, Dr Pepper, Elderlower water, Elderflower cordial and tonic water, tonic water, soda water, fizzy water, ice cubes, Lucoazade, lemonade, fizzy orange, orange squash, orange juice (if not too acid), sips of chocolate milkshake (maybe soya), Iron Bru, and cocoanut milk. Foods of a sort are tinned fruit, cuppa soup, baked potatoes, nibbles of chips and crisps, slices of melon and mango, Scotch pancakes, biscuits and cheap ice cream. A wonderful diet ! But for many, salty or sweet things do seem to help.
Nightimenope I am glad you feel a bit more human. It is awful you had to suffer alone like that last time. I wonder you could cope as a teacher.
eallison Your poor LO! That was stressful, but it is so good that you haven't been knocked off your feet by the stress.
cumbercooler Where did that nurse get that idea? Astounding ignorance. Ondansetron is notorious for locking up the bowels. One unlucky sufferer on here left it to late and had to be treated in hospital, which is why I am forever going on about laxatives. That sounds a good combination. Did s/he prescribe anti-acid? They can make a huge difference to nausea. I believe you can get Omprazole and Ranitidine (both safe in pregnancy) over the counter.
Reastie and 11yrgap and everyone, good advice.
Apologies if I've overlooked anyone.
