Take her to the pediatrician ASAP. This could indicate a serious endochrine problem.

Could be croup cough.  If it is hard for him to breath, go the the ER.  They can give him a breathing treatment and IV steriods or oral steroids.  He might be vomiting because of secretions in his throat draining down into his stomach, which can be too thick for some children to digest.  Good Luck!!!

An hour or two?  Sounds like a friend of mine daughter.  Have you looked into a food allergy?  You don't say how old she is, what she eats, or how much, but I would look into that.\n\nIt turned out that my friends daughter has **ciliac**(spelling may be off) [EDIT: I put crones in there first, my mistake] disease.  She can not eat wheat products (bread, pasta, etc.)

Did you take an oral temp?  96 is low normal for a five year old. I'd be more concerned with the vomiting. Young children dehydrate much faster than adults.  Take her to your ped doctor today.

if she is not eating you should take her to the doctor! babies need to eat, and they certainly should not be "lean". your child is not getting enough nutritien, so she needs to be taken to the hospital.

Food poisoning for sure-- you dont state his age but if he's under 5 you better really watch that he doesnt get dehydrated.  Get him to drink some gatorade in sips one hour after he has stopped vomiting.  If he continues to vomit, get emetrol from the drugstore- it  makes you stop vomiting- follow the instructions-- if he continues to the point he is dry heaving- ER!!

Try giving him some soda such as 7UP or ginger ale at room temperature -- tell him to sip, not gulp.  If his stomach pains continue, or he develops vomiting, etc. give him Pedialyte or Gatorade to replace his electrolytes.  Soda crackers are a good idea too.

Don't force a kid to eat.  Instead do the following:\n\n--Give him vitamins.\n--Make sure he only has access to healthy foods.\n\nThink about quality, not quantity of food.  Otherwise, you'll set your child up for a lifetime of eating disorders and weight problems.  \n\nOnly provide healthy foods.  Just let the kid eat as much or as little as he wants.  He won't starve himself to death.\n\nPlus, it sounds like he needs his tonsils out.  A good diet can't improve bad tonsils.  Ask your doctor about a tonsilectomy.

you are in a very bad situation and I wish I could help more. i think you are on the right track with the herbal meds, and you can't quit work because starvation won't help your child. maybe you should look for a holistic doctor and try them- they tend to use herbs when possible and in some cases their results are quite remarkable. godd luck and vaya con dios

He or she might be lacking something in his or her diet. Too much salt/sodium is not good. You should discuss this with your pediatrition.

yes, to no fever...\ndrink clear liquids only....no milk or dairy.  drink sips,like 1 oz every 30 minutes for a few hours then 2 oz every 30 minutes over a few hours....and so on...\nclear liquids are gatorade(R), sweet tea, water, popsicles, jello, flat soda....if he continues to vomit and have diarrhea for longer than 24 hours, go to the ED.\nonece the vomiting stops, so should the diarrhea.  if the diarrhea should turn bloody, then go to the ED immediately.

Maybe it's because your body has been used to not being taken care of. The first step would be to make an appointment with your doctor and tell him whats been going on. He should direct you into what you should do. I would think it would to start eating small frequent meals first until your body gets used to eating again. Drink plenty of water. The headaches come from not eating and the nausea and vomiting from dehydration. You should take some light healthy snacks i.e, fruit, pretzels, juice along with you in your purse or backpack during the day and bottled water. Plenty of rest (at least 7 hours a night) too.Also a good idea would be to take some multivitamins. You may not feel a difference with the vitamins but trust me, it helps alot. Not eating right can cause you to have problems in school also. I hope that this helps. If this doesn't help, then I would advise you to take heed to someone's help. Good luck.

She could be dehydrated. You should ask your Dr. also re. symptoms of Diabetes, such as a fruity smell to the breath, increased urination , can't recall the rest. Are there control issues at your house? I only ask because an environment where things are either out of control or one or more people are tending to over-control, that is a perfect set-up for eating disorders. Food & it's consumption ( or lack thereof) becomes the one thing the child can have some control over. You'd better seriously lookinto this with someone with expertise in this field, be safe.

Eating issues top the list of stresses in a lot of parents of 3 year olds.  A child will NOT starve themselves, so start by making food a "non-issue"  Offer her food, if she doesn't eat, put it away and offer it again later.  Don't beg, plead or bribe her to eat.  Stick with healthy foods in a variety of textures, colors, shapes and from all food groups.  She will not likely sit still long for meal times, so offer small meals throughout the day.  Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 3 snacks are appropriate for her age and health concerns.  Keep the portion sizes small.  If she is drinking a lot of juice, even if it is diluted with water, it contains enough sugar to make a small body think they aren't hungry.  A small amount of juice diluted with water served at one snack per day is plenty.  Stick with water and milk, which should probably be whole milk based on her need for calorie intake.  Avoid the empty calorie foods like chips and cookies.  Ice cream in small amounts, again as part of a snack or meal, can help with calcium intake.  I would suggest starting the day by serving breakfast, let her eat what she wants.  Then remove the food and let her play.  When she asks for something to eat, offer her a small plate of healthy bite size snacks such as string cheese cut into pieces, grapes cut in 1/2, mini Ritz crackers (whole wheat is good for her).  If she won't eat that, let it sit on the table and when she is hungry she will.  It is so tempting and normal to bribe her to eat with promises of sweet treats, but that is only developing some bad eating habits for her.  Experiment with veggies in a variety of ways such as carrots can be raw, steamed, or stir fried.  Her doctor should be made aware of her poor eating and may want to examine her to rule out any type of illness and may recommend a supplement such as pedia-sure, but most kids do not need that.  A nutritionist can also be consulted who can help design a meal plan specifically geared to help with weight gain.
