| Re: The stomach flu
Hi Brooke Hugs to you and your LO! There is a bad stomach flu going around and my DS 18 mos, just got over it. It did take him a week before he was toatally himself. There wasn't much to do for the symptoms, I am afraid. My doc just said Motrin for the fever and no dairy or juice, but to push pedialyte to prevent dehydration. My son would not drink the flavored pedialyte so the doc said to mix the unflavored king with a little ginger ale or gatorade to taste and that it was ok to give him flat ginger ale alone. The ginger ale did make his tummy feel better I think. I did not push food at all, just let him lead the way on that and I think that helped. He came down with it on Monday and Saturday was the first day he really ate meals again, and they were small. If the vomiting gets too bad the doc will give nausea suppositories. I did not catch it, nor did DH so good luck on that, I hope you don't get it!

My daughter just got the stomach flu for the 2nd time in a year. I think she picked it up at daycare, but has no fever anymore, but she's been throwing up today and a little bit yesterday. Does anyone else's little one have it and is there anything I can do to ease her symptoms before I end up getting it and won't be able to take as good a care of her?? Thanks!
