Lots of people have D&V atm, It so shit. Both DD’s have got it and I have also just vomited. let’s hope DW remains unscathed!
Got some advice for you guys, please listen to it!
Buy some ORS/dioralyte please! You get so so dehydrated when vomiting that you can quickly worsen. This helps keep your body properly absorbing the hydration so you don’t end up severely dehydrated.
i buy these ones Dioralyte or these ones ORS
if you don’t have access to those and are continually vomiting dissolve 1/2tsp salt and 2 tbsp sugar in 1l of water, then see a doctor as soon as.
don’t share towels, cutlery, cups etc. with anyone in your family.
wash vomited on stuff separately on a hot wash
other tips are BRAT- bananas, rice, applesauce, toast. (Plain pasta, rice, soup also good) and baby food pouches. Easy to digest and get some calories and nutrition in.
if you feel better don’t gorge on a pizza yet, eat slowly and in small bites and if you feel nauseous stop. Same with fluids.
don’t take medication to stop diarrhoea, it’ll make things worse.
if you haven’t kept anything down for 2+ days then see a doctor asap or call 111.
once you’ve finished with the bug get everything disinfected and clean, change bedding, clothes etc.
ok doctor hat off! good luck in the trenches everyone!
