Is this a tummy bug or something else?

The last three nights ds (6) has woken up at about 6am and been sick.

During the day he is fine - jumping about, doing handstands and making his usual endless demands for food.

The sick is a bit weird in that it doesn’t smell particularly horrible like sick normally does. He also has a bit of a nasty chesty cough.

So we were starting to wonder if perhaps it isn’t sick as such - just gunk from his chest that builds up in the night and all comes out at once?

But then today both kids have done dodgy poos. Although they are both probably not getting as much sleep as they do normally with it being the holidays, plus we have done lots of travelling over Xmas so lots of different food (and probably richer food than usual). Also dd (9) is a competitive triathlete and during term time does huge amounts of exercise which is much reduced this holiday. All of these can have an effect on their bowels so it might be a red herring. Or maybe not.

So now I’m confused. And slightly worried about ds. And having images of having to clean up,sick every morning at 6am for the rest of my life!

Any ideas?
