Want wine with cold meds...is that a bad plan?

This morning, after being up half the night with DS and then with my annoying cold, DD came into my bedroom saying, "mommy my tummy hurts."  She then threw up. A lot.  Everything she has had go into her body has come out within 5 mins.  I took her to a walk in because our doctor is closed on Fridays.  It was packed, they said, "It will be a couple of hours."  then DD threw up in a spectacular fashion into a bucket I had brought in.  We were seen right away.  Diagnosis?  RSV.  I don't know what that stands for but DH says "random stupid virus"  I agree.  I may be taking her to the hospital later if the pedialyte still won't stay down.  So far in 8 hours DD has not kept even a mouthful of water down.

  • It stands for respiratory syncytial virus. It can be a pretty serious respiratory infection in young children and can cause bronchiolitis. If it seems like she's having trouble breathing she may need to go back.

    So now I gotta ask, did I just get a quack for a doctor at the walk in?  Seriously, no fever, no cough, just a lot of vomit.

    I know several kids that got it but none were throwing up. All ended up needing breathing treatments in the hospital. Hopefully that doesn't happen for you LO and she feels better soon!

    Maybe. I would get a second opinion. It could be rotavirus, or just a bug also. No cough seems a little weird for RSV. How does her breathing sound? Wheezy? Or normal?

  • I don't think you should give your daughter wine with her medicine.  It sounds like she would just throw it up and that would be an awful waste of wine.

  • Did they do a nasal swab?

    agreed. ;
  • DD had RSV we think and they only treat the symptoms which were the RIDICULOUS amounts of snot, a mild cough, and fever, so we went with Tylenol and Benadryl. There was no puking.
