DD6 had a stomach bug - 2-3 fairly grim days of diarrhoea and vomiting/bringing up bile. Drank sweetened squash throughout to help keep her hydrated and give her some energy.
It's now been more than a week after any incidence of sickness or diarrhoea but she's still very weak and pale. Has a runny nose and blocked ears. Sleeping later than usual and ready for bed earlier than usual. Eating slightly less than normal but poos back to normal. We've spent the week resting with the odd short walk.
She tried one half day at school midweek and was very very tired after it.
My question is - is this normal after a tummy bug? Should I be calling the doctor? It seems like a very long recovery time. I didn't do a COVID test as it seemed like a tummy bug, but could it be some kind of post viral fatigue thing?
Yabu - let her recover longer and she'll be fine
Yabu - call the doctor, that sounds unusual
