When my kids throw up I give them  a drink that contains raspberry juice. Not the artificial raspberry but something that contains the juice. Can be in cordial but read label. or juice but water it down. My kids will throwup one more time after drinking it but then will stop throwing up. It always works for me. Or I use a herbal tea that has raspberry in it. I soak a tea bag in water for a period of time and them add  cold water according to taste. Works just as well but with no added sugar. Also good  for gastro. Good luck hope this helps!

i agree with what most people have written. its the same as panadol, it absorbs within 20 min and begins to bring the fever down.

it is also recommended that you do not give them more as you'll overdose them and they can get even sicker..

poor little one!! its so sad to see them sick :( hope all is well :)

poor baby.

20 minutes is long enough for a large percentage of the drug to be aborbed, so you will need to wait 4-6 hours before giving it again.  be sure not to give any more than 4 doses in 24 hours.  as tylenol is paracetamol based, you may give some nurofen as well, in between doses of paracetamol, or after a vomit, as these are 2 different drugs but have the same anti fever effect.

give him small amounts of fluid frequently. start with 2ml per kg every 20 minutes (this is what we call a trial of fluids). ie. if your son weighs 8kg, then offer 16ml every 20 minutes (use a very weak cordial- not strong, as the sugar will draw out fluid from his body, or you could buy some hydralyte from the chemist).  if he tolerates this then gradually increase the volume.  if he does not tolerate this then he may need to go to your local emergency dept or dr for assessment, particularly if he starts diarrhoea as well.

keep an eye on his hydration, if you are worried that he is having less wet nappies, he has no tears when he cries, if his mouth and lips look dry or if his eyes look sunken then he needs to be seen by a dr. 

hope he feels better soon.

keep giving him fluids and crackers that is the only thing you can do if you are still worried go to the doctor they may be able to give him something to stop the vomiting. Depending on how old your son is they maybe able to give him an injection like they do with adults anyway it would be worth giving the doctors a ring or make an appointment.

Even though he has thrown up you still should wait for the recommended hours to give him and more medication because you can not be sure how much his body has absorbed.

pedialtye always helped to settle saxon down, you can buy it from the chemist and it just he hydrates their bosys with all the appropriate minerals and salts etc. hope your little one is better soon!!

I would give him a half dose if necessary...if he is still fevering...I would also say go back to the BRAT (banans, rice apple toast) diet.  This flu is nasty
