How long does the stomach flu last for a 1 yr old?

Q: My one year old has had the stomach flu since Friday night. He vomited all night the first night and vomited and had diarrhea the next day. Saturday night he went to the ER to get IV fluids and yesterday he slept most of the day. Today he is still sleepy and weak and still does not want to eat or drink. I have to force feed him fluids – could it be something other than the flu or does it usually last this long?

A: When my daughter was 18 months she had the stomach flu, the vomiting and diarrhea lasted about 3 days. Vomiting the first day and a half and diarrhea the last day. She was drinking, but eating VERY little, if at all. When I called the doctor, they had me check for signs of dehydration and asked me a bunch of questions. She was not dehydrated and it was basically a waiting game. By the 4th day she was weak, but feeling better. By day 5, she was getting back to her old self again.When in doubt, call you doctor. Hope your little one feels better.
