    What did the doctor suggest you do? A parenting forum may be a better site to ask this question as those members may have gone through this before. Best of luck and I hope your little boy feels better soon!

    Maybe he would eat Pedialyte popsicles. That would give him liquid indirectly and also restore some electrolytes to his body lost by the vomiting and diarrhea. You can find them in most food stores that sell popsicles and also in pharmacies. You could also freeze some apple juice or other clear juices and he might eat that. Frozen treats might feel good to him in these hot summer days and might help with any fever he may have. If you can't get him to take liquids in any form today - frozen or not, then call his doctor and insist that they do more to help you.

    Thank you for your wishes,
    The doctor want to try one more time, but I have no resone to let him try, they tried in his hand and foot, but the vein is very small, they could reach it.
