vomiting and tummy pain

[sandy0741]

Thanks very much for all your response, my son is OK now, I just gave him congee and lots of fluid. He has started drinking milk (less diluted) and is OK, though he is still not eating much, I think it will take some time for him to recover, at least he has stopped vomitting, which really kills me when I saw how uncomfortable he gets.
But I really don't know what causes him so, I think he has picked it up from school, because he just ate the same thing when he gets home.

Sounds like possibly rotavirus, for which a vaccination is available. Was it accompanied by diarrhea? My nephews were 3 and 2 when they contracted rotavirus and needed to be hospitalized and feed intravenously to prevent dehydration. It's highly contagious and very dangerous for small children because of dehydration, but most older children will recover without much assistance.

Would agree with AndreaY about avoiding milk, but you can give something like Paediasure, which doesn't have any milk in it. Glad to hear that your son is better now!
