Hey Mamas,

 

My son had a bad cough, high fever, and flu (started 1 week ago) that developed into pneumonia.  He was drinking juice and a little yogurt but not eating much for the first 3 or 4 days (1 tangerine, 1/2 avocado, a few frozen blueberries in that time.)  Since then, he doesn't drink much juice (maybe 18 oz a day), refuses yogurt, and won't eat anything.  He's been throwing up a couple of times a day, usually right after drinking.  He's been on antibiotics for 2 days and has developed diarrhea since then.

 

His cough and fever are much improved from the antibiotics and he doesn't seem overly dehydrated.  But I'm still worried...  how long can he go without eating?
