[quote=\"Sun_2010\"]So how does your DD get better ? any suggestions pls?


We treat it like gatric flu. Just plain porridge with a little salt until 24hrs after the last bout of vomiting, then light non-oily non-acidic food for another 24 hrs. Plenty of fluids (but not milk or juice) during that time.

Thanks slmkhoo, following a similar diet for DS. He has been ok yesterday. Continuing the diet today but larger portions and less frequent.

What about fruits? Pomegranate is the one fruit that my mom used to give . But I was thinking about oranges/banana /papaya ?

Is Horlicks good for a couple fo days, since milk is off the list for a couple of days?

PS- have I told you , I always read your nick as slimkhoo for a long time ๐Ÿ˜„[/quote]Fruits are acidic and Horlicks is milky. I would hold off at least for the first 48hrs.

Looks like start of some bug. He vomited a couple of times last night, then slept. Woke up hungry this morning, he had some rice porridge , now sleeping. Have an appointment to see doc later today.


That sounds like my older daughter. We've noticed that before a stomach bug, she will be very lethargic and sleepy for a day or so, then start vomiting. It's happened a few times over the years. I didn't want to suggest it in case it jinxed him, but sounds like the bug takes him the same way. It doesn't work that way for the rest of us though!


This is the first time he has had a stomach flu like thing. , so no prior experience.
He is feeling better now, No vomitting till now today :xedfingers: still tired but enough strength to negotiate out of eating porridge and fantasising about curry chicken and pizza :slapshead: Giving him small portions of light food for now

So how does your DD get better ? any suggestions pls?

Thanks for asking, Jen.

Hunger is a good sign! Hope he feels better soon!

For me, when dealing with whatever is happening in high stress situation, most people around me will be dropping like flies or griping about it and I may appear unaffected. When the whole situation is over, I will deflate like a balloon. That is when I will start feeling unwell. And usually it manifests itself in my gut. Bloatedness, hyper-acidity, nausea, etc. I remember when schooling, I tend to fall ill right after exams. So when everyone is celebrating the end of exams, I am stuck in bed.

ammonite:
I think the doctor will tell you to observe if there are no obvious signs of pain, fever or rashes. Any headaches?


My ds will always be as you described whenever he is on the verge of falling sick and in fact he was exactly like that last week, and developed a fever. When he is such (tired but no fever ), I will always keep him indoors and enforce rest. He will usually still get a fever subsequently for 1-2 days and recover after a few days of rest. If you are worried, can consider rooming in with your child for a while to observe at night.
If you do not think it is an early sign of illness, ask if he had injured himself in the head recently. If he did, it may be good to see a doctor just in case.
Take note of the date he first complained of fatigue, and if it persists, definitely see a doctor and inform the doctor of the duration.
Yes I slept beside him last night, he was rolling a bit more than usual otherwise everything was normal and woke up by himself this morning around 7.

He is very prone to cold, and usually falls sick with a funny noe/sore throat.
I will check about any falls especially as he went cycling and also had school games on Fri.
Thanks Ammonite

Funz:
I guess just observe him for a day or so and see if he bounces back. Could be the start of some bug?


Not sure about your DS but whenever DS behaves like that, I know that something is bothering him and I will need to dig it out of him or leave him be to sort his thoughts out.
Thanks a bunch Funz, that is my gut feel too but I did ignore that. I asked him last night, he said nothing and i left it. He fell sick right before PSLE, so maybe he is tense about that these days are the PSLE marking days. Or they had school games on Fri , maybe something is bothering him about that day. Perhaps he is tense without even realising it.

I wouldn't have thought of that! For mine, it will be insomnia.

Funz:
Tried getting some exercise?

He was pretty much normal - went out in the evening to run and play with his friends , and cycling of Fri/Sat. Sunday he was like moping around reading, playing a lot on ipad/comp. So i was not worried when he wanted to lie down and rest and do nothing - not even read. I thought he was just too bored.
Evening we had planned to make cupcakes, he did helped but kept wanting to sit and not interested as he normal is. Then he just wanted to go and play. He came ack after an hour, saying he didnt feel like running around too much . He helped with the cup cake deco. After dinner, he wanted to lie down, Gave him some ginger powder with honey. He asked me to be with him. We saw some youtube for 10 mins, then he wasnt interested and soon slept. His only complaint is feeling tired.
