Mu dd who is 8.6 has been complaining of stomach ache for about three days. I thought she was swinging the lead and didn't believe her. She was fine in herself, she even went swimming last night. Around 3 this morning, she vomitted, we cleaned her up and she had a really loose stool. She went to bed and got up at 6.15, she was burning hot to touch. I took her temperature and it was 40.2, she refused paracetamol because the Swiss one is butterscotch flavour (WTF?). she had around 50mls water and spewed it all up again. She had four more explosive poos and soiled her pants and trousers on each occassion. I made her and appt at the doctor who diagnosed a virus and sent us away. Poor little thing is ligged outon the sofa watching CBBC wearing an always ultra and feeling sorry for herself. I gave her a dose of ibuprofen and she vomitted it up. she is refusing to have a cool shower and I don't knwo what else to do to bring her fever down. she has not had any solid food since last ngith and most of the liquids she is taking are reappearing soon after. Any idea how to keep them down and reduce fever?
