Any sick bug tips?
My little girl has been vomiting since Tuesday night. It’s now just bile coming up , she’s only being sick 2-3 times in 24 hours but she’s so upset. We’re trying to limit to small amounts of plain food and water, trying to avoid dairy.. is there any good advice?? We were doing a probiotic gummy the last two days but she’s spat it out today.
Would calpol or anything else help? When she isn’t being sick she’s still playing and wanting food!

We were advised the same … keep her hydrated. If you don’t have any full sugar cordial then take a pinch of sugar and dissolve it in a little boiling water in a cup then top up with cold water and add cordial.
Should be ok if she is having wet nappies. Calpol won’t ease the vomiting but she may have a slight headache if dehydrated or sore throat or strained muscles if vomiting so if she will take it then I don’t see any harm in it. But I’m not a medical person!
Does she like ice lollies? We always give ice lollies so least getting fluid that way xx
I was told the BRAT diet when they’re sick,
banana
rice (plain)
apple puree
toast
No dairy!! It’s so rich and makes them vomit more, no butter on toast.
Water needs to go in somehow, ice lolly suggestion is good!
If he’s not having much or not passing urine please take him to an urgent care, really important he is hydrated.
Calpol won’t stop the vomiting, will ease any pain but I’d focus on the fluids.
Sending hugs ❤️
