What can I do for my 9 month old?

Question

My daughter has been throwing up since saturday evening. We took her to the ER saturday night and they gave her zofran and said if she wasn't better in 3 days take her to the doctor. She was still throwing up on Tuesday, so we took her to the doctor and they did some bloodwork and said her viral cell count ws at 88% and should be at 20-30% this far into the stomach bug. Also, she had lost a pound in just 3 days! They told me if she wasn't better by the next day (wednesday) to bring her back in and she would probably need to go into the hospital. So, wednesday came and she was still throwing up. Took her back to the doctor and she had lost another 2oz, but they just sent us home and said they didn't know how long it would take for her to get better! My husband and I are at a loss! What can we do for our baby to make her feel better?? Any advice/suggestions!!!!!!!

Is there another hospital close by that you can take her too? The Zofran certainly should be working to keep her from throwing up so there's gotta be something else going on.

Don't know why your doctor did that, that would really have upset me, but this is what I would do - I would just take her to the ER and tell them that your doctor had told you she would need to go to the hospital if she wasn't better by today, and she's not better.  They will admit her and likely they have a pediatrician on staff or a pediatric hospitalist who will attend her instead of your regular doctor.

please try another hospital if one is nearby. it is very strange that after all the doctor visits, they were finished by them saying "they don't know how long it'll take for her to get better."

You need another opinion. try another hospital and good luck :)
