stomach bug
When jillu was 1 1/2 yrs her doc waved the green flag and said u can feed her anything u eat.
well i have been always carefull with her feeds but when am munching on murukkus and thatais and chips if she ask for it i give her. normally nothing happens and she can digest it but this week some 4 -5 kerala chips has got her so down that doctors were threatening us to admit her if the vomitting and loose stools continue
hmm after 3 days of vomitting and loose stools she is somewhat back to normal though has refused to eat anything .
am just listing down some medicines am trying with her
these can be given when the symtpons start - do go to a doc but u can try these medicines at home too
Vomitting
this is of 2 kind
1. due to over feeding, exhaution, mild infection
she throws up only once and is back to normal
this kind needs no medicine, just clean up , give some water and after some time u can feed her
2. stomach bug, food poisoning
they continue throwing up even after all the food has come up
giving a sip of water also causes puking
give emeset for jillu its 5 ml after 40 mins give a sip of water if she doesnt puke after 15 mins give her normal feed
if she keeps it down - means no more trouble
if she doesnt keep it down , need to go to a doc for emeset IV
Fever
