What can you give a 5 yr old that has been vomiting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hold fluids: You can try over the counter Emetrol. Important to wait 1-2 hours after vomiting before giving your 5 yo something to drink. Try to have child take sips of fluid such as Pedialyte instead of gulping down a large amounts. Look for signs of dehydration including no urine for 6 hours, dry mouth, decreased tears. Followup in urgent care if vomiting persists or signs of dehydration.
