what else to do?

my dd has been vomitting and had diarrheoa for the past 4 days.. she is still drinking but not eating any solids at all..

she is constently crying ive called the doctors and they say as long as she is still taking fluids and i have lots of wet nappies thats fine...

im really unsure as i can tell shes lost alot of weight.... im crying all the time as im so unsure and so scared she is gunna fade away to nothing..:crying: ..

i dont like disagreeing with my doctor but what do i do??:banghead:

sounds like a bad case of gastro. Go down to the chemist tomorrow and see if you can find gastolyte for her age. You can make it up as a drink or you can get icey-poles. Even if she sips a little bit of it.

I hope you DD get better real soon. Hugs for you both :hugs: :hugs:

i would get a second opionon if i wasn't happy. Which i have before and the first doctor got it wrong.

Take her to another doctor or head up to your local hospital. You can never be to careful with your children's health.

If you are worried, you should get her checked out. Especially as she is still quite young. Does she have a temp?
These kidlets sure make you worry when they are sick eh.:rolleyes:

Not sure what age you can give Gastrolyte, but when DD had gastro (at 4mths old) the Dr said to give her Pedialyte, it's more suitable for younger bubs.

I'd also be seeing another Dr, especially if bub's not improving. Hope she feels better soon :hugs:

How is the little one going? How are you going also?

Awww.... so sorry to hear things are not going well. I can totally sympathise with your situation as I was in the same boat last week. Thank god for the emergency room!!!! The local doc doesn't always know everything..... and he/she is not the one with a crying bub for hours and hours and hours. It's so draining both physically and emotionally.

So glad you got more advice. Good luck with everything. It sounds like your bub is finally in good hands.

Awww, your poor bubba :hugs: Glad to hear that she is getting the help she needs to get better.
Good luck for the next few days, hope she gets better quickly now :)

Hope everything is going ok with your little one.:hugs:

I'd be heading to the hospital if I were you! Four days is a long time to have these symptoms without some sort of side effects.
