My daughter is 6 months and yesterday pm she projectile vomited everywhere bringing up all of her afternoon bottle. At 9pm I woke up to her projectile vomiting everywhere again all of her bedtime bottle she was also boiling hot to touch and had a temp. She’s also been extremely upset the last 2 days and her first tooth has come through. I’m worried about her getting dehydrated as she is refusing milk this morning. Could the sickness be due to her teething or is it likely to be an illness? Not sure whether to keep offering milk or water and when to ring the doctor if she doesn’t take any fluids? Thank you so much ☺️

*also to add nothing has changed in terms of her usual formula or bottles and weaning. (Currently has veg purrees for evening meals the last 4 weeks)

I would take her to the doctor if her temp is still high after 24 hours :) it could just be the teeth, have you tried giving Panadol an then seeing if she wants a bottle? Sorry I’m not much help x

That sounds more like illness than teething in my opinion but I’m no expert. The only time my little one was like that it was a bug, he then had diarrhoea 24 hours after vomiting. No one else caught it though but I put it down to a bug. He was 8 months at the time. I’d give it 48 hours from the first episode and if no better ring 111. A bug is likely to be resolved after 48 hours with no harm done xx

With the water, I’d just keep offering water for now that’s what we did at first then offered milk later on when he seemed a bit more settled and hungry x

She could possibly have acid reflux also.

This exact thing happened to my bub recently it turned out to be covid (she fought it off in 1 day so don’t be alarmed if it is that) can you do a test on her to rule it out?
When I took her to docs they said keep giving her calpol to bring the temp down and keep offering her milk . As long her nappies are wet then she’s not dehydrated. Take her docs if you’re concerned, it’s not nice seeing them like that xx

this is so interesting I tested her Friday as my partner had it last week and she was negative the whole duration maybe I’ll test her today as she could now have it? Thank you xx

Thank you all so much for your advice xx

When my daughter didn't want milk I gave her rice water home based u can try that see If she likes it but take her to her doctor see what going on has she been peeing and pooping average or poorly

It’s likely the stomach flu, it’s that time of year. My girl just had that.

Not teeth sounds like illness teething only causes a temp 100.4 and lower anything about that is something else
