Stomach Flu - Symptoms and Treatment

When tigerbaby got her 1st stomach flu, cluelessmom was a bit lost as its symthoms are different from the usual cold and flu. WIth that, thanks to a group of ladies, I learnt what need to be done and what to take note

Synthoms 
- Vomitting
- Diaroaa
- Exessive tiredness
- Lethargic
- Mild Fever
- Nausea

If vomitting more than 2 times and in a close duration (within 1 hour x 2 times) - please bring to see a doctor

Things to Take Note On
Ensure the child has enough fluid. Can give Glucose Drink (in Asia countries, you can get it from Supermarket - its a purple coloured tin) , Barley Drink and Porridges Water (that is you cook porridge, put a lot of water to cook it )

Plain crackers are like Meiji Plain Crackers are fine.  Wholemeal bread or plain bread was given to tigerbaby but as chart say Toast , but you don't have to really use a toaster to toast it . Just give simple bread and not those fancy type you get from bakery as they might have butter in it which will cause discomfort to the stomach .  However TOAST bread tend to ease nauseaness , so you can try to give toast if you are sure that your child drinks liquids easily or else it might cause slight heatyness


Use Essential Oil
