My daughter, she's 5, has been having vomiting and diarrhea since morning. She's looking a bit drained now. We're giving her ORS. When is it serious enough to take her to urgent care for vomiting and diarrhea?

Vomiting and diarrhea together can be so draining and emotionally taxing, I totally understand if you're feeling overwhelmed. If you can't keep any liquids down at all, or if you're feeling extremely weak, dizzy, or notice blood in either, please go to urgent care. It's okay to seek help when your body is struggling so much.

If vomiting and diarrhea are constant for over 24 hours, or if you're showing signs of severe dehydration like extreme thirst, reduced urination, or dizziness, then urgent care is necessary. My time is precious, so I wouldn't delay a visit if I couldn't keep myself hydrated. Also, if you see blood, go immediately.

Yes, severe dehydration is the main risk here. If you can't even hold down ORS, definitely go to urgent care.

Listen, when you have both vomiting and diarrhea, you lose fluids very quickly. If you're feeling extremely weak, can't stand, or can't keep any water or ORS down, that's when you need to go to urgent care. Also, if there's blood in your stool or vomit, or if you have a very high fever, please don't take any chances, okay? Just go.

It's completely normal to feel anxious when you're dealing with both vomiting and diarrhea. The biggest concern is dehydration. If you're unable to hold down any fluids, feel very dizzy, or notice any blood, please seek medical attention at urgent care. Your peace of mind and health are important.
