DS (almost four) is sick with bronchitis and tunny nose. We're leaving for the hospital soon for a chest xray to see if he has pneumonia. He hasn't really had any tummy problems. Hes thrown up two different nights in the past two weeks from coughing.

Hes not drinking as much as he normally does - maybe two cups between 7/8a and 6/7p. So Ive been giving him pedialite pops.

Other than popsicles he hasn't eaten since Tuesday.   He was 50lbs last week and was 49 when we went back. I'm offering ALL kinds of foods. His doctor mentioned pedisure but isn't that really high calorie? He wont drink it and there's nothing I can sneak it in to.

What the heck am I supposed to do!?
His pee is darker than usual so I'm trying really hard to get him to drink more. He pooped yesterday..that's good, right? Does your kid not eat when they are sick?

light flavored broths and soups? have him sip really slowly.
if hes dehydrated, have you tried ice popsicles? not like flavored ones, but just frozen water.

sounds like the last time cameron was sick.. he had a swollen lymph node so even if he tried eating he would just gag. i think he went 7 days without eating, and only drank liquid here and there   as long as he is drinking some though hes okay.. try Popsicle too like even the yogurt ones for some extra goodness
