So my 19 mo has only had one sickness bug before this and that was just for one night. He was a sickness bug now and threw up 4 times on Thursday and once yesterday. I keep hoping that he’ll wake up magically refreshed each day, today he’s woken up again in a very low mood, he has a very short temper and just can’t be bothered to do anything, he interacts with his favourite tv shows and will muddle about the house and ask for things to play with (e.g pans from the kitchen) but nothing holds his attention for long and he just gets annoyed and walks off and whines and cries. He’s had bursts of being completely himself (almost) but these are always followed by him being completely deflated.
He has a stomach bug, ongoing constipation (had this for 4-5 weeks now), he’s teething and he’s just getting over a cracking cold/cough that’s lasted forever. Rationally I’m thinking he’s behaving normally but irrationally I just keep thinking my little toddler who usually loves his life has just been so unlike himself for 3 days now! Saw docs on Thursday who weren’t worried and prescribed Movicol for constipation but can’t get it down him currently as he throws it back up!
