A. If your 1 year and 11-month-old boy has been vomiting since the night, it’s important to address it promptly. Here’s what you should do: ### **1. **Monitor Hydration:** - **Keep Him Hydrated:** Vomiting can lead to dehydration, so offer small sips of clear fluids like water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), or clear broths. Avoid giving large amounts at once. - **Avoid Sugary or Caffeinated Drinks:** These can worsen dehydration. ### **2. **Observe Symptoms:** - **Check for Additional Symptoms:** Look for signs of fever, diarrhea, lethargy, or persistent vomiting. These can help determine if it’s a more serious issue. - **Note the Frequency and Appearance:** Track how often he vomits and the appearance of the vomit (e.g., color, presence of blood). ### **3. **Rest and Comfort:** - **Ensure Comfort:** Keep him in a comfortable position and make sure he rests. Avoid lying flat as it may aggravate nausea. - **Monitor Temperature:** Check his temperature regularly to see if he has a fever. ### **4. **Dietary Adjustments:** - **Introduce Bland Foods Gradually:** Once vomiting has stopped, reintroduce bland foods like plain crackers, rice, or applesauce in small amounts. ### **5. **Seek Medical Advice:** - **Consult a Pediatrician:** If vomiting persists for more than 24 hours, or if you notice signs of dehydration (e.g., dry mouth, few wet diapers), seek medical advice. - **Emergency Care:** If he shows signs of severe dehydration, has a high fever, or if the vomit contains blood or bile, seek immediate medical attention. ### **Summary:** - **Hydrate:** Offer small sips of clear fluids. - **Monitor Symptoms:** Observe additional symptoms and vomiting frequency. - **Rest:** Ensure comfort and rest. - **Diet:** Introduce bland foods gradually after vomiting stops. - **Medical Advice:** Consult a pediatrician if symptoms persist or worsen. Taking these steps can help manage your child's vomiting and ensure they receive appropriate care.
