A member asked:

My child has been vomiting for about 3 hours on and off now. no fever, no diarrhea. at what point should i take him to urgent care?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If he spooks you: Many of these kids will settle if you feed them ice chips & slowly advance sips of clear fluid. If he doesn't pee in 8-10 hrs he is dry & should be seen, but if you can get his stomach to settle this may stop. Advancing fluids too fast will often trigger more vomiting, so volume must be slowly increased.
