PTA to The first concern in a child with vomiting andor diarrhea is a high loss of fluid or dehydration and a loss of electrolytes. Electrolytes maintain your internal body stability, and becoming dehydrated can cause malfunctions in vital organs. If your child begins vomiting excessively, here are some things you can do to prevent dehydration: 1. Give clear fluids wa- (7-U- p, ter, Gatorade, Pedialyte) in small frequent feedings (like one to two teaspoons every 10 to 15 minutes). Large volumes distend an already irritated stomach and can cause vomiting. 2. Do not give milk or milk products until the vomiting is resolved. (If you are breastfeeding, pump your breasts to main- - tain your milk supply.) 3. After six hours without vomiting, your child may begin a soft bland diet. This helps the sensitive stomach to return to normal with less stress. If your child is suffering from diarrhea, continue with the clear fluids. Do not stop breastfeeding, though, because breastfed babies seldom develop serious diarrhea. If your child is less than six months old, you can dilute a soy formula to strength for one to two days. Older children can be fed bananas, cereal, rice or applesauce for one to two days. The child can go ahead and eat normally after three days, even if the diarrhea continues. Remember that careful hy one-ha- lf giene is important to keep the disease under control. Wash hands frequently and well. See your doctor immediately it fly if: 1. Your child is vomiting blood or there is blood in the diarrhea. 2. You suspect dehydration (no tears, decreased urine output, dry mucus membranes). 3. Your child has a head or abdominal injury prior to vomit- ing. 4. Your child may have ingested a foreign body or poison. 5. Your child is difficult to arouse. 6. You notice your child breathing rapidly. 7. Your baby has a fever and is less than 3 months old. 8. You notice a marked list lessness in the child. U diarrhea is a recurrent prob- lem or lasts longer than one week, you need to consult with your physician. You also should contact him if your child has a fever (more than 102 degrees), fever for more or a than three days. If you see flecks of blood, pus, or mucus in stools, let your physician know. Also inform him if your child suffers from prolonged abdominal pain, recurrent vomiting, or lethargy or irritability. And as you care sick kids (and sick self!) from sleepless night to sleepless night, just remember: Eu flies fast. Dont let it fluster low-gra- de you. Stay fixed firm, follow friendly pharmacological facts, and fly, folks! sponsor latchkey classes KAYSVILLE Columbia Elementary PTA will sponsor two seminars entitled Being Alone, for children in grades three through six.
