Timecodes:
the best way to care for kids with
vomiting and diarrhea is to first
realize that when kids vomit they need
to have some what we call tummy rest so
the worst thing to do when a kid throws
up is to let them drink something
immediately even though they're gonna be
thirsty if it's an older child then I
would let them rinse their mouth out but
don't have them swallow this is younger
child just don't give them anything and
you want to wait at least 20 minutes
before you let them try anything when
you first try something they're gonna be
really thirsty but you have to go very
slow with them and you want to give them
if it's a younger child some Pedialyte
if it's an older child some Gatorade and
very very slow like a teaspoon every
three to five minutes you want to go
very slow for a little while and
gradually increase it as they tolerate
it if they throw up which they often do
with the stomach flu again you have to
restock wait another 20 minutes and then
restart again when you're worried about
vomiting and diarrhea one of the main
things to look for is if the child's
having any blood in the vomit or
diarrhea you need to contact their
physician immediately otherwise a lot of
these are viral and that really just has
to run its course the biggest things we
worry about our dehydration and how you
can tell dehydration in a child if it's
a little baby
they should be peeing at least every
three to four three to four times a day
you should be able to see it in the
diaper the older child you want to make
sure that they tell you when they go to
the bathroom so you can ask them if they
had to pee at that time you don't want
to feed a child who has vomiting
diarrhea right away you want to give
them some time let their stomach settle
once they're holding down the liquids
for a while then you can slowly
introduce a very bland boring diet so
that means rice crackers anything
starchy that can help kind of harden up
the stools
if the vomiting diarrhea goes on more
than four to five days if you think your
child is becoming dehydrated that's when
you need to contact your physician
