So mauriz hasn’t eaten since about 8 pm Thursday, all day yesterday he had a fever and today he’s had a fever still not eating or drinking and is throwing up like crazy!! When would you ladies suggest taking him back into the ER? I had him there yesterday but all they did was monitor him.. don’t really want to go in if they won’t do anything but I’m getting worried he might be getting dehydrated with the not drinking anything and puking!

@crai, I’m thinking I probably need to!

I would have taken him to urgent care the minute he couldn't hold down anything. My dr always says if fevers can't be controlled by Tylenol or ibuprofen it needs antibiotics. Have you tried giving popsicles? Gatorade? Pedialyte?
He doesn't have to eat just keep him hydrated. He can eat once his body is ready and when he's ready to eat start off with the b.r.a.t diet.
If you get to the hospital ask for nausea medicine. My son got prescribed Ondansetron, it dissolves in the mouth.

@gabby.pineda, that’s the thing he doesn’t want to even drink anything and he doesn’t want popsicles and usually he’s all for those!! Every time he’s tried to drink anything today he pukes it up a couple mins later, the people at the ER told me yesterday to bring him back if he can’t keep nothing down for more than a day 😑 but I’m not about to wait a whole 24 hours of him going like this!

@mommy_x3 I would ask for nausea medicine then so he keeps things down. Urgent has told me if I run out of nausea medicine I could use benadryl. I'm not sure how true that is. Could you ask for some medicine so he doesn't throw up?

I seriously hate hospitals! Is there an urgent care open in your area?

Take him into the hospital if he's not drinking .. kids can get dehydrated really quickly

@gabby.pineda, @laywatz, I’m about to take him to the children’s ER again but a different one... he just puked all over himself so his dad is giving him a bath while I get the other 2 in bed, when he’s done I’m going to head out with him!

Yea. Has an episode of my lil one throwing up. Went in to clinic. Doc recommended 10 ml of fluid juice pedialyte whatever lil one takes to every 10 -15 mins to prevent dehydration.

@joska, oh okay! And he’s only had 1 wet diaper all day

Most pharmacies carry over the counter suppositories (meds you insert rectally). His fever should come down and hopefully then he will drink/eat
