3 year old stomach flu

posted 28th Dec
My Daughter is 3, almost 4 and she has a stomach bug Im pretty sure is the flu.
She has Chills, is complaining of head ache, she is vomiting, and very drowsy. Her fever at last check was 101.5, I gave her some Advil but after a few drinks of Pedialyte she threw up so I dont know if the advil really got in her system.
It started about 8 this morning. Shes gotten sick before but this is the worst its ever been she has been in bed all day, sleeping and throwing up and thats it.
I HATE going to the ER here its often 4-8 hours there, but Im a little concerned about her. Please help, tips, something?

My 3 year old just had a stomach bug, lasted 24 hours.

2 weeks after that he got a cold with a fever that started at 102.5 and then stayed low grade for a week.
When he spiked at 102.5 we gave him tylenol and it did smurf, so we put him in a luke warm bath and it came down to 101.
I gave him tylenol the next 3 nights before bed time, incase he was in any pain, but besides that he go no meds. I believe a fever needs to do its thing to clear up the infection. Bringing the body heat down with a cold cloth, loose clothes and blankets and a luke warm bath is far healthier and more effective then meds.

Lucky for me my son drinks great when hes sick. Hydration and a temp over 104 is your only concern. Lots of bugs are going around right now, I dont think you need the ER.
Hope she feels better soon mama...I know its so hard to watch

Ok thanks, Just checked her fever again its at 101.7 so not much change there.
I have a cold wash cloth on her forehead and she is drinking great. I hope she is over it by morning that would be great.
