I know this is a kind of how long is a piece of string question but does anyone know how quickly sickness things can pass and if you are likely to feel better then get bad again?
So my husband and I are on holiday and due to come home today. In fact we need to check out the hotel room in just under 2 hours. He started feeling unwell last night before dinner. It came on quite rapidly and he went from feeling a bit queasy to being very sick within about an hour. He was being pretty ill for 4 hours (he just camped in the bathroom as couldn’t really move much) and then he felt well enough to crawl into the “kids” bed. (It’s a family room and there’s just the two of us so he slept in there).
He did actually manage to get a fair bit of sleep. And he’s woken up today feeling like he’s been run over by a bus but so far not that bad. I am aware this could change!! 😬
So. Do people think we risk starting the journey home? (Driving. So don’t need to necessarily be in contact with other people unless he needs the loo at a services). It’s a 4 hour drive. The hotel is full (we have told them the situation but they said they can’t extend check out or let us book one extra night). We could look for another hotel nearby-ish but most places won’t let you check in until about 3pm and quite honestly we’d by home by then anyway! I’m also worried about starting to feel unwell myself half way back!! 😬
Does it sound like he’s caught a sickness bug or more like food poisoning type thing? As I said it was quite a rapid onset. Very violent illness for about 4 hours. Then just feeling knackered and battered. He does feel slightly warm to the touch but I don’t think actually feverish as such. After the initial sickness last night he said he felt freezing cold. (I’m sure the fact he was lying on the bathroom floor wouldn’t have helped that though!!) We ate mostly the same things but obviously that means nothing really as one burger isn’t identical to another one etc!
What a nightmare! 🤢😬🤣
