Common Questions and Answers about Dehydration and vomiting in kids

vomiting

Avatar f tn t matter what I ate, I always felt sick. When I went in for my second Dr. appointment I had lost 6pounds. The nausea and vomiting haven't totally went away, but I can now at least keep down basic, needed foods and fluids. *knocks on wood* the headache thing, I've been fortunate with that. Think I've had 2 minor ones in the past 10 days.

Avatar f tn I agree 100% with Trying. You may just have to rack up some more ER bills..it's either that or put you and baby's health at risk. You NEED to get some IV fluids and nausea medicine, and you need to do it TODAY. So if you can't get in with an OB because of insurance issues, your only option would be to go to the ER. I don't think you have many options here...you must be seen.
Avatar f tn m 36 wks today 8v been cramping since the night before last this morning I walked up nauseous then started vomiting I feel dizzy/lightheaded and my crap r getting worse any one kno what this could be ? Is it a sign of labor she I go to hosp or deal with it for a little bit ?
Avatar n tn My child was wetting the bed, extremely thirsty all the time and was vomiting; his vomiting, we think, was contributed to a stomach virus he had at the time. We took him to the ER due to dehydration -they did a blood chemistry and his blood sugar was 399-they immediately admitted him to ICU and he was put on IV insulin. He's been a diabetic now for 3 years-he's now 9. He's has handled it amazingly well!
531826 tn?1216075915 Common causes of dehydration include not only multiple episodes of diarrhea or vomiting, and fever and resulting perspiration; they also include failure to drink adequate amounts of fluids especially during hot weather or prolonged exercise. Dehydration causes transitory insulin resistance (your body becomes more insensitive to insulin). During periods of dehydration, blood sugar will tend to rise.
8475475 tn?1403476630 I was in the ER weekly for meds and IV fluid. After 3 hospitalizations and trying Zofran in pill form, they gave me a home care nurse. I was on IV's daily, a Zofran pump that pumps the meds into my stomach 24 hrs a day, Reglan (in pill form to help with the vomiting) and Pepcid for the acid reflex. Although I could not keep food down for 11 weeks and lost 28 pounds the Zofran pump helped. I'm 22 weeks as of today.
Avatar n tn my 8 year old female boxer has been vomiting on and off for three weeks last night and this morning is the worst. What can i do? she drinking and eating.
Avatar f tn if u become dehydrated then it can put u in preterm labor and right now its just still to early!!! best of luck and try to rest and drink drink drink!!!
Avatar f tn I had that and went to the hospital they said i didnt even need to go in call your ob before anything and STAY HYDRATED I kept thrown everything up and i stoppd drnking because of it and i got admited only to be on an iv and dehydration made the babys heart rate to fast i had to be monitored if i had stayd hydrated i could have avoided the whole sotuation its very common to get a smomach flu though unless it lasts more than 2-3 days you shuld be ok and pain could be from dehydration as well call
Avatar n tn This may be no more than an upset stomach....who knows? But the important thing is if he is vomiting, and not drinking he could be in serious danger from dehydration. That is urgent. He will need to go on IV fluids probably, just to re-hydrate him. Please post back if you can, to let us know how it goes. Hope he's ok.
1150389 tn?1295559187 My colleague had nausea / vomitting in her 1st,2nd , 3rd trimester and it was so bad she had to be hosp a few times for dehydration but her kids were born healthy and normal. It was apparently due to her raging pg hormones. I also read (cant rembr which website) that it does happen to some women to suddenly get nausea again in their 2nd or 3rd trimester.
1898060 tn?1336423105 Lately I have been having lots of nausea and vomiting. I was just wondering if gravol is ok to take at 37 weeks pregnant?
Avatar n tn Immediately after test I had swelling and painful many lymph nodes in the groin and one on the neck confirmed by CTC scan and Dr examination. My sun and daughters got sick so rapidly in the last 6 months. They got frequent ear infections and sometime high fever 40.5C with no clear reason! Towice they got continous vomiting and diarrhea till dehydration. I have tested negative for Hiv at 15 weeks and 18 weeks by combo.
Avatar n tn Were there triggers for his stomach pain and vomiting? Further evaluation may need to be done if the diagnosis is still not known. It is important that he tries to hydrate during these episodes to prevent dehydration. Take care and hope to hear from you soon. Best regards.
Avatar m tn Shigellosis can also lead to dehydration and in rare cases, other complications, like arthritis, skin rashes, and kidney failure. Some children with severe cases of shigellosis may need to be hospitalized. Continue ListenContagiousnessShigellosis is very contagious. Someone may become infected by coming into in contact with something contaminated by stool from an infected person. This includes toys, surfaces in restrooms, and even food prepared by someone who is infected.
Avatar f tn I ended up in EL at 11 wks. I had called my Dr because the vomiting was getting worse and she prescribed me zofran but so if I keep vomiting I needed to go yo EL for an IV for dehydration. If you get too dehydrated it can cause a miscarriage. Have you tried gatorade? Half gatorade and water? I was told to also try that to stay hydrated.
Avatar n tn I'm 15 weeks and still have some morning sickness. with my first I found snacking throughout the day helped but with this one I don't know what can help. Thankfully it's easing and I'm able to tolerate more smells. Hope you ladies get better soon and find something that will ease the vomiting.
Avatar f tn Go to the ER. You're likely getting dehydrated hun. They can give you something for the nausea there and hook you up to some much needed fluids.
Avatar n tn Call your doctor -they may be able to give you a prescription for the nausea/vomiting. I had to - I'm on my second kind of medication which neither worked well enough so I gave up on the medication and stuck it out :( I couldn't keep anything down- lost 15lbs in 2.5 weeks and ended up in the ER for dehydration. I'm also 11 weeks going on 12 and I just started to feel a bit better the past couple days. Hoping it gets better for you soon!!!!
Avatar n tn To complicate it, I also have kidney stones causing severe pain and more nausea and vomiting. I have been to the ER two times in the past week for the dehydration and pain. I only feel better for a day and then it starts up again...bad. How do I know when to tough it out at home or go to the ER? I feel like a pain in the butt when I have to go back.
Avatar f tn If he has been vomiting and unable to take in adequate fluid, he may be starting to get dehydration. An infection in old folks may not always present with symptoms referable to the area involved – say a lung infection, you'd expect cough, so a thorough evaluation by a physician would be in order. For patients after lobectomy, complications are referrable to the lung. Has he been having problems with retaining to much phlegm? A lung infection may be the culprit here.
Avatar n tn I have only had some morning sickness during the 2nd trimester and none during the first. But now this is quite severe. Anyone else nausea and vomiting worsen this late in pregnancy?

Avatar n tn my daughter is 33 and about 6 weeks pregnant. Gets dry heaves and vomiting She is also being weaned off of Paxil. Can't seem to keep anything down. what can she do and is this normal??
Avatar m tn Definitely something wrong! I agree with everyone! Any time a kitty is vomiting and not eating there is cause to be concern. Especially since it doesn't take long for dehydration to set in, in their little bodies. Good luck! Let us know!
1816154 tn?1463430018 Thank you both! I went in yesterday afternoon and they said that it wasn't the flu or a virus. It was just pregnancy causing me to throw up. They just said that if it happens again to come in and they will hook my up to an iv again like they did.
Avatar m tn Yes, my mom has been vomiting everyday for about a month and a half and has fainted during the middle of the day, in the shower, while walking, and in the middle of the night. She just did it again a few minutes ago, so I gave her some ginger ale a water and aspirin and she is now resting (under my close watch). Please anyone out there if you can help please respond. I can't only have one parent.
