What to give a 3 year old for vomiting?
My 3-year-old son has been vomiting since yesterday evening. He's very restless and keeps asking for water, but even that comes out sometimes. Is there anything specific I can give him to make him feel better?

For a 3-year-old, definitely ORS first! 💧 Keep giving small, frequent sips to prevent dehydration. Once the puking stops, try super bland stuff like plain toast, banana, or boiled rice. No milk or oily food for a bit. Hope your little one feels better soon! 🙏

ORS is most important. Small sips frequently to prevent dehydration.

Even for a 3-year-old, especially with vomiting, hydration with ORS is vital. If they have any predisposition to sugar issues, plain ORS is better than sugary drinks. Once vomiting subsides, introduce bland, low-sugar foods slowly. Always consult a pediatrician, especially if they are diabetic or have high blood sugar.

Oh, my poor child. When my grandchildren would vomit at that age, we always gave them small spoons of ORS. Very important to keep giving little by little. No heavy food at all. Just bland things like thin dal water once they are a little better. Always listen to the doctor if it's too much.

For a 3-year-old vomiting, the first thing is ORS, given in small sips repeatedly. Do not give milk or solid food immediately. Once vomiting stops for a few hours, you can try plain rice gruel or thin khichdi. If not improving, see a doctor without delay.

ORS sachets are quite affordable and easily available; always keep some at home. If the vomiting is severe or goes on for too long, a doctor's visit and potentially a hospital stay can be very expensive, so early intervention with ORS is crucial to avoid complications.

Yes, ORS is key. Also, make sure they are resting well.
