If A Toddler Throws Up Once Does That Mean They Are Sick

Can my toddler soy milk after he's thrown up?

Dairy of any form with thicken up the mucus. The thicker mucus can cause your child to throw up. If he has a fever then that would also cause him to puke if he has dairy.

Don't give him soy or pedialyte.
Try Gatorade instead of pedialyte. Pedialyte has the same stuff as Gatorade except it Pedialyte also has unnecessarily added artificial sweetener.

My toddler is throwing up?

My daughter has been throwing up yesterday evening and ALL NITE LONG! and continues to be sick this morning. She is four years old and it happened to her last year also. She doesn't have a fever just throwing up basically every thing she had yesterday and then throwing up nothing but liquid or bubbles. From my past experience I make sure she doesn't get dehydrated because this could be dangerouse. Since she is not keeping anything down not even water, I am feeding her water from a dropper and depending on how much she can take I have geen giving her one fourth of water from a dropper every 5 to ten minutes consistently (using a timer) she seems to be keeping the water down pretty good. I am not feeding her any thing yet until the virus works its way out of her body. I am not going to feed her any food today depending on how she looks and reacts and if she hasn't thrown up at all today. So far she did earlier this morning so I am not going to feed her anything but may be one fourth of toast later in the evening or will wait until tomorrow. I will consult with the doctor and let him know and see if he wants to see her. But I doubt it because she doesn't have a fever just vomiting. I know what to do and its jut to keep her hydrated through out the day.

In your case your daughter is little and I would definetly condult with the doctor to see if he needs to see her. In the mean time don't give her milk because it will make things worse or anything heavy. Give her pedialite or water with a dropper as much as her little body tolorates it. You will know when you have given her tooo much when she throws up. Even if its three drops of water every 3 to 5 minutes it helps from keeping her hydrated. But do call the doctor ASAP. Wish you well and carry and panper your little one she must be feeling horrible.

Why do French fries make me sick and throw up?

It’s probably the grease, or at least the quality of grease (some fast food places only change their oil once a week), or it could be an early sign that you’re intolerant to low quality foods, which tend to include fast food, diner food, and processed/packaged foods. If the latter is the case, initially it sucks, and it’s difficult to find a meal when you’re on a road trip, but it ends up being helpful for long-term health. I don’t know if it's yet medically recognized as a ‘thing’, though, but I do know it exists.

Do American people really throw up in the toilet as shown in the movies when they feel sick? Isn’t that kind of gross? Why not use the kitchen sink?

We put our face above the toilet seat and puke into the bowl. We do not put our faces into the bowl!Puking into the bathroom or kitchen sink runs the risk of clogging the sink, especially for a bathroom sink.Puking standing up runs the risk of missing or only partially hitting the bowl, and having to clean up the mess from the floor. It’s hard to be accurate when you are heaving your guts up.Who has time to run to the kitchen sink when you are going to hurl any second?I don’t know anyone who has ever puked into a toilet bowl that still had . . . other stuff . . . in it. The other stuff gets flushed so the only thing sitting in the bowl is water.If we are sick in bed and think we may not make it to the bathroom, we keep a large bowl near us so we can spew into it. This is common practice when younger kids are sick, as they can’t always tell when they are going to vomit until the last second.You can always vomit outside too!

How old to clean up their own throw-up?

My mom was a single mother, so she wasn't usually home for a few hours after school. Or she usually had to work if I was sick. I don't really blame her, or think she was being a bad parent. And I wasn't raised to just let throw-up lie on the floor till she got home, that'd be sick. But I was just wondering if anyone else had to clean up after themselves.

How long can toddlers go safely without eating?

I have two sick little toddlers.
My son will be 3 years old the end of next month. He first started throwing up early Saturday morning. The vomiting and diarrhea only lasted about 24 hours; so he has not done either in a little over 24 hours now. But he is still very sleepy and has no appetite. He didn't keep down any food on Saturday (we only tried him with some cheerios and crackers, which didn't agree). On Sunday he ate a couple bites of toast and a couple bites of chicken (all of which stayed down) over the whole course of the day. He was able to keep down some pedialyte and water, as well as one cup of milk. This morning he again woke up very sleepy, and went back to bed an hour after he woke up, without eating.

My daughter will be 2 the beginning of May. She woke up sleepy on Sunday (was fine all day Saturday), and managed to eat a few bites of toast and keep down some water. But then yesterday afternoon she started throwing up (no diarrhea for her at all). Since than (about 18 hours ago) she has not been able to keep down anything, except for her water stayed down one time, about 1 ounce worth.

Neither child is dehydrated, as when they cry they still have tears, and they are both still peeing (although not as much as normal), and it is still clear. So I have not called the doctor, as I am sure from past experiences there is nothing they can really do, since they are making progress and they are hydrated.

So my question is (sorry so long!), How long can they safely go without really eating? And how long does this sort of thing really take to pass to get them back to having an appetite, and not being sleepy, etc. Basically how long should I expect it to take for them to act like themselves again? They have only been sick like this one other time, and it wasn't as bad and they bounced back in less than 48 hours.

Easy way to make a kid throw up?

Has your family thought about just not having any foods in the house that contain nuts? That's would be the safest way to manage the situation until he is old enough to understand the implications of his allergy. These days, even at my son's school, they are not allowed to have any nut products in the school grounds at all because of the children with peanut allergies, so we have to pack lunches carefully.

Edited to Add: Who cares what the rest of the kids "adore". I think there needs to be a little more respect. You should not be making a kid throw up if you can avoid it. My son would love peanut butter sandwiches at school too, but it is not allowed, and instead of whining about it, he respects that some kids are allergic. Life threatening or not, I still think that if you have a child who is too young to understand yet, everyone else who IS old enough needs to develop a level of knowledge and respect for this issue. It is obviously an issue if you are asking for ways to make him throw up, so therefore, get the nuts out of the house!

Also, allergies CAN become worse the more someone is exposed to the allergen, so just because it isn't life threatening now, doesn't mean it won't become that way. Another reason to remove the item from the house rather than risk his exposure.

Ask you family doctor - I'll put a bet on it that he would not condone forced throwing up as opposed to removing the cause.

When a baby throws up the food you just fed her, should you wait a while and feed her again or just skip that meal?

Is she vomiting or spitting up/out the food you're feeding her? If she's just spitting up the food you're feeding her then she may not be hungry. Babies go through spurts where they may eat a lot because they are growing (they also have similar periods of sleeping a lot too) but then they take a food  break when they don't need it. Overfeeding can cause unnecessary weight gain. Spitting out food and rejecting it a second time may be her way of telling you that she's not hungry.If she's vomiting (you can usually tell by the smell) then how old is she? If she is just starting on solid foods, then you should stop feeding her and go back to milk/formula. She may be allergic or not ready to process food yet. Once the throwing up has stopped and she's able to hold down liquids, try a different food. If the throwing up continues and is causing you to worry, call your pediatrician for specific advice about your child.If she's older, has been eating fine, and has just now started throwing up food, I would stop feeding her, give her some fluids, maybe some water with a bit of salt and sugar, and wait for her vomiting to stop. Then I would try feeding her again when she seems hungry. If she asks for food, eats, and then vomits, she may have contracted a stomach bug, developed an allergy or have some type of acid reflux. My almost 15 month old woke up in a puddle of vomit two nights ago and kept making the worst sounds. I thought it was my husband gagging, that's how bad it was! We gave him a bit of sugar water with a dash of salt, put a towel over us and let him throw up. It was a long night but I wasn't extremely worried because between gagging sessions he would chirp happily and didn't act strangely.  I did stay up because he had a stuffy nose along with the throwing up and I didn't want him to choke or something in the night. By morning he was better and while he didn't eat a lot, he didn't throw up.If your child continues to throw up, not eat, lose weight, or you notice changes in her personality, please call your pediatrician. S/he can give you specific advice about your baby.
