Very sick 6 year old with the flu...need some advice.? |
Okay so my neice has the flu, and she has had it for almost three days. She started out with a fever, and now she is just really exhausted and has been throwing up. But when she throws up it's usually just clear and thick. Her eyes are droopy, and she doesnt even talk much. I have been trying to give her pedialyte and water, but its hard because she just keeps throwing it up. I know its the flu and she is going to be feeling bad for a while, but what can I do to help more? Aww, the poor baby! She has to drink, even if she vomits again. Try with smaller portions, spoon by spoon. Pedialyte is OK. You can give it as much as she can take. Slowly. dear auntie Keep her warm, sponge her if shew has a high temperature, this helps expel excess heat. Give her plenty of fluid. I find drinking orange juice helps me with a common cold as opposed to water (haven't had flu since I was age 8). See a doctor. |
