How much fluids are required?

  • Posted on September 27, 2010 at 5:24 pm

How much does my daughter have to actually drink in a day if she is sick with sever diarrehea and mild vomiting? We have pedialyte popsicles, but she has had about 2 sucks on it in the last hour or so.

Also is there some kind of stomach thing going around?

Also, besides dry lips what else shows dehydration?

Anything else I can do to keep her hydrated?
She is almost 3 and had diarrehea all day yesterday, some last night, and some today, and only vomitted once yesterday……….but it was a lot.
It is Sunday and don’t really want to take an already sick child to the ER where she could catch something else if it isn’t necessary.
