Well out of hours now I suppose with the Easter hol.
On Monday my 4 year old was complaining of bad stomach ache. He then vomited a few times.
Since Monday he has stopped vomiting but I have never seen diarrhea like it. He is tired and has spent every day since Monday morning lay on the sofa, occasionally he'll say he wants to play and will for about 5 mins before saying he needs to rest and doesn't feel well.
His poo is like yellow water and a lot of the time he doesn't even realise its come out. He's back in a nappy right now because he can't even tell when it's coming a lot of the time. When he does make it to the toilet ite like a tap. At night he will leak 2 -3 times and is so upset when he realises. I have to wake him to clean him because he just sleeps through doing it.
He's very thirsty and I'm conscious of dehydration so have been giving him sips of water frequently. I find if he gulps down loads it just comes straight out. I have tried the powder from the chemist but he doesn't like it.
He barely wants to eat, he will pick at a piece of toast or a few mini cheddars. The most I got him to eat yesterday was some grapes, a piece of melon and a bite of toast. I don't know how there is anything left to come out. I took him into the garden today for some fresh air and he just sat there looking so tired and miserable.
I understand it's probably just a nasty bug and there is nothing they can do but how long would you leave them like this before taking them in? I was really hoping he'd be a bit better today but he's exactly the same as he has been all week.
