dh and i arguing over this. tell me i am right? he wants me to call ped because our almost 3.5 YEAR old is vomiting and has fever. i told him it's just a virus and if it isn't gone in a day or two, i'll call. he is freaking ebcause she vomited the tylenol and can't keep water down. the ped isn't going to be able to do anything except tell me to keep trying something like gatorade.

My DH is very quick on the trigger to the ER - bug bite, sore throat he's all for the hospital. Now I show him the $100 co-pay and he is a bit more thoughtful. [ Reply | More

You're right. Tell him if he wants to do something he can go to the drugstore and buy some acetaminophen suppositories. [ Reply | More

you're right although i usually call ped to appease dh or my mother. water is hard to keep down when you have a stomach bug. i usually give something with sugar - say tea (peppermint tea has no caffeine) or gatorade or apple juicce - and i give tiny sips every 5-10 minutes. it's a slow process but it works best.

You can try to bring down the fever with a bath [ Reply | More

If he wants to call to obtain advice (and peace of mind for himself), let him. There's no charge to talk to a nurse. [ Reply | More

I know what OP means, but I just phone the Dr. when DH asks me to even if I know they won't have any advice. It's nice that he cares about your kids, and it takes 5 minutes. [ Reply | More

put dd into a cool bath and keep trying plain water for about 6 hours. If she's still not able to keep it down, call ped - with the holiday weekend coming you don't want to risk her getting v dehydrated [ Reply | More

as long as your dd isn't dehydrated (going to the bathroom, skin is ok) then the PED can't do anything. Tell dh that you love that he's concerned but he has to trust you on this one [ Reply | More
