I asked about using emetrol and they said prescription meds are better (b.s. he is still writhing in pain, temporarily stops nausea but nothing more). I heard about pure grape juice but that could be for prevention, have any of you used Manuka honey?? Any suggestions will help. Thank You!

If it was my kid I would NOT ask online for help. I would take him to the hospital.  Stupid is the force in you |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14562270 Ginger ale (with ginger) he can't keep it down, maybe I can find a ginger supplement. Saltines / Green tea I'll definitely grab, heading to store soon will keep checking back. Thank u If he can't keep anything down, you need to give his stomach a break. You rehydrate slowly. A teaspoon. If he keeps it down for 30 mins, give another teaspoon. His stomach is constantly feeling nauseated because it never gets a break. If the ER didn't give him IV fluids when you went, he's okay. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77547800 My suggestion is don't give him random house wife remedies, it stands the chance of aggravating it, or giving stomach cramps, especially herbs!! Stomach bugs you just have to deal with it. But this could easily be food poisoning, maybe a visit to the doctor so they can provide you with a proper treatment for it not a glp folk remedy. |

 User ID: 75475853 United States01/26/2020 05:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This stomach bug past through here about 3 weeks ago and affected alot of families. ( OKC / central OK ) It was a slow recovery also dont get in a hurry to start eating spicy foods. Use the opportunity to correct your diets and stick to meats vegies and fruit. Throw out all the junk food and sugar. Life is all about choices |

Yes, He had fluids via IV only threw up once today but stomach pains back. It is NOT food poisoning, he had blood drawn, nose swab, I'm basically looking for something else that may calm his stomach, help fight virus. All he had was 1 slice of toast, honey and applesauce today and not all at once. |

Trying to sooth his stomach/fight virus. Thank you! |

It's horrible when your child is suffering and there's not much you can do. I know. I have a boy around the same age. Thank you! He has kept down the toast and applesauce which he had earlier today. I might also add he has autism, high functioning so it's another fight getting him to understand he can't eat, plus he has sensory issues so the pain hits him harder :( |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77520047  Germany01/26/2020 05:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | With a stomach virus it's important to drink enough like water (no sparkling water) or some soup with mixed vegetables. Its also important to eat since the body will take some of it like white rice with salt (yes just that). Or carrot purree with chicken. Should be over in a couple days. |

Maybe I should have worded post differently just a little tired ugh. He will continue liquids, no more foods until tomorrow, and of course if he declines the e.r. is 5 minutes away :) |
