Question regarding son.?


Question:
My six year old son underwent a adenoidectomy and tonsilectomy yesterday. He did fairly well until this a.m. He hasn't been able to keep anything down all day today. I have tried the medicine, antibiotic and fluids...and it comes back up 20 mins. later. He has only urinated 2 times so far today also. I know that fluid intake is essential. Does this sound fairly normal? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answers:
Give him ice chips.
Popsicicles
Put a ice bag on his throat.
That will help if he has pain or swelling.
Just keep trying.
Even if he throws up, some of it is getting absorbed into his stomach.
When kids have this surgery they usually take a day or two to be able to swollow half ways decent.
Just let him lay down and sleep with the ice on and tomorrow he will probably feel a little better.
The ice chips are the most important.
If he don't want a whole popsicle just mash it up and spoon it to him.
Today is the worst day.
not unusual, but call the doctor immediately
You need to take him to urgent care and get him some medicine for his nausea and vomiting.
call the Dr. asap. dont let your sons health depend on us fools on yahoo.
I don't care what time it is when you read this...call your doctor!! If he doesn't get enough fluids in him he will dehydrate and may possibly go into a coma. If you don't call your doctor NOW, then just take him to the ER. This is not a very common reaction to this type of surgery. Like any surgery, it can happen though.
peace
