Accepted Answer

: Anemia can be diagnosed easily with a simple blood test.

Question 3

what can i give my 5 year- old for an upset stomach? he has already vomited. preferably a home remedy. my 5 year- old has been saying his tummy hurts for several hours now, what can i give him that i may have at home?

Accepted Answer

Whenever : Whenever a child has vomiting and/or diarrhea, his body is fighting an illness and is trying to get rid of a gastrointestinal toxin. Most likely this is a viral illness, but occasionally it can be bacterial, also. In either case, antidiarrheals can prolong the illness and antivomiting medications should not be given unless you are specifically told to do so by his doctor. The best course of action is to give his stomach a break for an hour or two and then restart hydration with clear fluids - an oral rehydration fluid such as pedialyte is ideal if the child also has diarrhea. Sometimes you have to feed the fluid to the child a tablespoon once a minute because a big gulp can trigger vomiting. If he does well with this after a couple hours, you can move on to bland foods. 
Reasons to call your child's doctor would be:

-vomiting for more than 24 hours 
-diarrhea for more than 7 days 
-severe abdominal pain
-bright green or bloody vomit 
-bloody or black diarrhea 
-new fever 
-dehydration (no urination in 8 hours, dry mouth, no tears, dry or doughy skin) 
-acting very sick.
