Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Folks, My 8 year old has been up all night with pain and nausea. He used to be on phenergran (sp?), but the doctor took him off of it about a week ago. Is there anything else that I might have in the house that can be given for the vomiting? He is asleep right now (6:20 AM) for the first time all night. When he wakes up, I am afraid we will start all over again. Thanks for anything you might be able to suggest, Donna Womack (Cameron's Mom) Fort Worth, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Donna, Try to control the nausea first, a slice of raw ginger held between the cheek and the teeth can help a lot. Also there is a pressure point about a finger width on the left arm, from the bone on the outside of the left wrist. Medium pressure at that point, either from you or the patient can help nausea. Don't forget to try to keep the hydration up by very small sips of water or a rehydration solution of one pint of water with sugar scooped with your thumbnail and salt scooped with the fingernail of your little finger.

(and you too) i hope you can get some rest also. your friend in arkansas, debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hi Donna, It's me again. While I was talking about food we could tolerate, I forgot to mention how sorry I am that your son (and you) had such a rough night last night. Children should not have to endure this terrible disease and as a mother of three and grandmother of two, my heart goes out to you. There is nothing worse than having to watch a child suffer and feeling helpless. I believe Phenergan is the best medication available for nausea/vomiting especially for children and I would definitely call his doctor and have him call in another prescription. God bless you, Donna and I will keep you both in my prayers....I hope you both get some rest today. Give Cameron a big hug for me and tell him I hope he is feeling better soon! Hugs & Prayers Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Oh Donna, I'm so sorry to hear this! Why in the world did the doctor take him off of the phenergan? AAGGHH!! They drive me nuts! My mom swears by warm 7-up for nausea, but it really never helped me. Sorry. Good luck, and you both will be in my thoughts & prayers. Please, let me know how he is later. Lots of Love, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Folks, My 8 year old has been up all night with pain and nausea.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 thers a band that goes around the wrist, this is suppose to put presure on the presure point and helps to control nausea, You can get them at the drug store or even wall mart. I used one on both wrist and they help. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
