Should I be concerned? Consult with her and give her something? I give pu pedialyte because she was still eating a little and I give her probiotic.

Question

My daughter had gastro last Thursday night vomiting x8 at night plus 2-3 times during the day. Pedialyte + a little bit of food at 11pm to revomit. Friday nothing vomited. Saturday x2. Sunday x1. Monday nothing and Tuesday again x2. She is 5 years old and since Thursday she has developed a fear of eating and vomiting... I try to reassure her but it seems that her stomach digests nothing. Do I have to do a diet every time? She doesn't seem to be dehydrated (pinch skin on her hand), nice pee and no diarrhea. Thank you for helping me with the rest.

Hello ma'am, I am reassured that your child can drink, even if less than usual. Choose light foods such as soups, broths, toast with butter, eggs, crackers, and avoid heavy or sweet foods such as red meat and undiluted fruit juices. Gastroenteritis can last up to 7 days. If it persists for more than 7 days without improvement , you should consult a doctor as a precaution. I will remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
