dd has been sick once in the night for the last 3 nights.Off her food but otherwise OK.She has a nasty cough and I think being laid downis making her cough until sick rather than it being a gastro thing.Anyone elses dc had this?Thanks.

Yes - seems to be going the rounds. DS's tummy has settled down but he's still hot and coughy.

DD had a chesty cough for 6 weeks - took her to hospital today and told it was a virl thing and will get better by itself. Thats after my GP gave her 3 courses of anitbiotics one of which made her sick

Yep, both mine too. DS on second batch on antib's for chest infection, DD got evil cough and as of yesterday slightly upset tummy. I ahve avoided it so far - expect it saving itself to hit me over Christmas!

Here too. DS, DH ad I all lurgied up. How long does this bloody cough last?!!!

Gah, glad it's not just happening in our house. DD2 (15 months) has had a cough for two weeks now - took her to the GP to check it wasn't a chest infection, and he thinks it's just a virus. She's fine during the day, but coughs in the night - and often vomits as a result. I usually sprint to pick her up when I hear her coughing, to avoid having to muck out the cot - which I was doing again at midnight last night. It's no fun at all.
