Clear Liquids

Water is good and all, but plain old H2O can get so mundane especially when your child needs to take a lot of it during illness periods.

If you’re feeling adventurous, paedialyte or other clear fluids such as apple juice work just as well if not better! They help improve blood sugar levels while providing some hydration for the body at the same time.Putting ice cubes in drinks often helps stimulate thirst as a recent study shows

-fructose-
-citric acid; boosting digestive system enzymes

Most parents who’d have used anti-emetic meds admits their efficacy duirng bouts off vomits.This useful medication comes highly recommended inferring from parenrs seeking their children’s comfort amidst vomits.

Ondansetron

For instance, ondansetron is an anti-emetic medication that works by blocking signals sent to the brain’s vomiting center.It dissolves quickly over the tongue making it perfect for toddlers struggling with swallowing pills. Consequently relieving any bout of vomiting among other symptoms such as nausea and dizziness typical of most sickness episodes
