16mo DD came down poorly earlier today. She's hot to touch, has a can't-be-bothered look on her face (heavy eyes, pouty mouth), a mild cough, off her food, whingy, won't/can't sleep, and been sick 2-3 times although not violently and not a lot (more of a spit up than a being sick, like newborn posseting).
I've given her Calpol, her last dose was 7pm and she just had another at 11:30. I've put her to bed in a PJ top and a nappy, no blankets or pants, to try cool her down (when she last had a temperature that went too high she had a febrile convulsion).
She's one of those people who takes any sort of bug hard and has been in hospital a few times with relatively common illnesses (bronchiolitis and UTI) that seemed to just hit her like a tonne of bricks so I'm a bit worried she's going to take this hard too.
DH is asleep and I'm lying awake listening for her in case she either has a fit or is sick or cools downand feels too cold in just a top and her nappy.
Feel free to tell me to get a grip :)
Has your DC had this bug? How long before they felt better and what, if anything, helped?
