thescrappyhomeschooler Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 :grouphug: Can you have someone get you some popsicles. When you can, have a little bit of popsicle or some other liquid so that you don't get dehydrated. Prayers for a quick recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Pepto. Don't eat anything until it has run its course will help if you can manage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter's Moon Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I haven't vomited since 6 30 (knock on wood). The other times were 2 - 3 hours apart, so I hope this is a short lived bug. I mixed a tsp of honey into chamomile tea and took a sip. Will sip again in 30 min or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH_Homeschooler Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I haven't vomited since 6 30 (knock on wood). The other times were 2 - 3 hours apart, so I hope this is a short lived bug. I mixed a tsp of honey into chamomile tea and took a sip. Will sip again in 30 min or so. That sounds like what I had a couple months ago. The vomiting lasted about half a day, and I was left with diarrhea for another day. I had a pretty high fever in there too. I just sipped water when I could and once I was confident the throwing up was over, I ate bland foods. And I took pepto as often as I could. Really the best thing was time. It was horrible but the worst was over within 36 hours. Then I was just really tired for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessed3x Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I had that same virus - :grouphug: What finally helped me was very, very small sips of water. Then watered down ginger ale. When I could hold that down I made a slushie out of blue gatoraid, ice and ginger ale and took very small bites of it. That finally settled my stomach and I felt much better. BTW- the slushie recipe came from a nurse on our insurance 'ask a nurse' line. It was wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Mylanta, but the taste alone makes me wanna vomit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter's Moon Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm just trying to keep my mind off the nausea and sipping my tea every half hour. If I still haven't vomited by 2, I'll try some watered down ginger ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm just trying to keep my mind off the nausea and sipping my tea every half hour. If I still haven't vomited by 2, I'll try some watered down ginger ale. You can also add some ginger (powdered spice) to your tea if you have some on hand. That helps too. Hope you feel better soon! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter's Moon Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I am feeling much better this evening. I think my fever broke (I didn't check with a thermometer but I don't feel warm anymore). Was able to drink some ginger ale and Gatorade. I'll probably make that slushie from up thread tomorrow. Also have some dry toast tomorrow. I also got a call back for an interview for a job, so the whole day wasn't bad :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
