Sheri I think it was you who said the flu lasted 36 hours at its worst.I am getting so nervous about it. We had a good day all day yesterday,then she woke up at 2 am again this morning,and vomited worse then ever.Just once ,but alot of it.It started Sunday morning,Sunday she was vomiting every time she ate as soon as she ate it was coming back up.It is slowing down a bit.Now she has diaherra 3 times already today....arggg doc told me to ride it out.I am worrying that she has something worse wrong with her.Her glands in her neck are big,so now I worry about cancer...argggg I am going crazy,this is really bothering me:(

Sometimes these bugs do last a couple of days. But little kids can dehydrate quicker because there's so much LESS of them. It concerns me that things slowed down & the vomiting returned. It could be something else(not cancer, Jeanie, but I understand the anxiety making you think that)

I don't think the glands suddenly swelling is a sign of cancer, more likely a bacterial infection, but if she's been vomiting and diarrhea for three days I would be worried about dehydration (which could have made her more susceptible to infection in the first place).

I'm surprised your doc doesn't want to see her.

Have you tried freezing pedialyte and giving her the chips? maybe a teensy bit at a time will stay down?
