Give your child water or ice chips. You can also give your child flat, lemon-lime soda. Make a drink of half water and half soda. Give bland foods 8 hours after your child stops throwing up. Babies who eat solid food can have applesauce, strained bananas and rice cereal.
Older children can have saltine crackers, bland soups, and mashed potatoes, or honey on white bread.
Give the bland foods for 24 hours. Do not give medicine your child doesn't need. Do not give any medicine unless your doctor tells you to. Your child has a very dry mouth. Your child has no tears when he cries.
