I usually give him Powerade
But it’s chametz

He has the chills. Should I give Tylenol ?
He threw up today a couple of times though.

What can I give him to drink ? His mouth is all dry & he says he’s very thirsty. Don’t want him to get dehydrated. Says he has a ‘knotted pain’ on lower abdomen.

Any ideas ? Thx

Call a rav. Last year was told it's allowed for our covid patient.

Check if pedialyte is kosher
Will he drink coconut water
You can open your own
Make him some broth and let him sip a little at a time.
Make sure it’s not appendicitis

If he can’t keep Tylenol down, too can buy acetaminophen suppositories. Rite aid sells them with the children’s medicines. “Fever all”. Refuah Shelaima!
(What about Motrin?)

Powerade.or gatorade may be kitniyos. Research and ask a rov!! Might be ok

If the pain moves to the right lower quadrant of his abdomen and if the pain gets worse he needs appendicitis to be ruled out. Otherwise I’d assume it’s a stomache bug.

The Rabbi Blumenkrantz book says that Liquid Motrin all flavors are allowed. I just gave my son, he has a fever Crying

It says in our COR book that kitniyot is permitted for someone who feels ill

DH and I are recovering from covid now and this was DH first symptom which is unusual - I.e. no respiratory symptoms. A week in DH lost his sense of smell which sent us straight to get a covid test and we we were both positive. Just saying in case this is a possibility

Homemade, All-Natural Sports Drink with Electrolytes {Copycat Gatorade}

Quench your thirst, hydrate your body, and replenish electrolytes with this easy-to-make Homemade, All-Natural Sports Drink...without the processed ingredients, artificial sweeteners, and food dye found in store-bought Gatorade!
CourseDrinks
CuisineAmerican
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings8 (8-ounce) servings (2 quarts total)
Calories48kcal
AuthorSamantha Skaggs

Ingredients
3 cups 100% pure coconut water
1 cup 100% fruit juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon sea salt such as RealSalt
4 cups water
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon or lime juice optional

Instructions
In a 2-quart pitcher, combine the coconut water and fruit juice. Stir in the honey and sea salt until completely dissolved. Stir in the water and add the lemon or lime juice, to taste, if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes
This homemade sport drink has a mild fruit flavor, and it is not as sweet as Gatorade or other store-bought sports drinks. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you may adjust the sweetness to taste (after combining all of the ingredients) by gradually stirring in additional fruit juice (up to 1 cup) and/or honey (up to 1 tablespoon) until the flavor is to your liking.
To wean my kids off of overly-sweet store-bought sports drinks, I started out making this recipe on the sweeter side (I doubled the fruit juice and added extra honey). Then I added slightly less fruit juice and honey each subsequent time I made it until I was eventually at the proportions called for in this recipe.
If you'd like to keep a smaller pitcher or container in the fridge, you may mix together all of the ingredients except the water. Then when you're ready to serve, fill a glass halfway with the homemade sports drink "concentrate," and then fill the remaining half of the glass with cold water.
