my 8.5 mo ds is sick for the first time. he's had a fever for about 2 days. highest was this afternoon 101.5. gave him tylenol. he's also been throwing up full bottles of milk after feedings. maybe once every 2 or 3 bottles. saw doc today and said he likely has virus and to stop the formula, give only pedialyte for 24 hours. what can i do in the mean time to help my baby get better? i'm so worried. do i keep him dressed cool, or normal is ok? and he's not drinking pedialyte well.

When I ride in a taxi cab with my DC I:
- Use a carseat
- Buckle him/her in his/her own seat
- Hold him/her on my lap
- I'd never ride in a taxi with my DC, it's much too dangerous!
