DS started throwing up this morning and hasn't stopped since. He can't even keep water down. None of us have left the house since Tuesday. The rest of us all feel fine and we've all eaten the same food. What on earth is causing it?
We spent the evening in the paddling pool yesterday and filled it with bubbles (child's farm body wash). DS splashed around a lot and is likely to have swallowed some water - could it be that? The water had been in the pool for two days and there were a few bugs and bits of grass floating around in it.
Overnight it was over 30 degrees indoors in every room and DS didn't drink much - could it be heat exhaustion or dehydration?
He only slept from 4.30 to 11am (sadly this is normal, he's autistic). Could it just be general exhaustion?
At about midnight I noticed a strong smell of cannabis throughout the house. We live near an alley and someone must have been smoking, and all the open windows and fans meant it really filled the house. DS's room is very small and he was in there with the door shut (won't allow anyone to open it) so he could have breathed in quite a lot - could it be that?
The cause doesn't really make any difference, I'm just trying to distract myself as I'm so worried! He hasn't kept a sip of water down all day and it's sooo hot. I'm obviously worried about dehydration. He's insistent he feels fine but he's very weak, just fell asleep for two hours and has a mild temperature. Obviously if he doesn't get better I'll seek medical advice!
