A member asked:

My 18 month old vomited once. we were at a party yesterday and many family members are now sick. what is the best way to care for her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing by mouth: Npo for a period of time to ensure the stomach can settle down and become less irritated. After an arbitrary time-1-2 hrs, sips may be offered or ice chip/slivers of a popcicle. If tolerated, a slightly larger volume of other clear fluids may be given. Always go slow and conservative-then if after 18-24 hrs-clears are tolerated-starches may be given with caution. Watch for any change in poop.
