He had swine flu in November and had the tamiflu and did make an initial recovery. However he has never got back to "normal" his sleep is disrupted he is constantly ill and seems to not be putting on weight. He's just had a cold with temperature and cough etc for a month, we thought he was getting over it and now he has a vomiting bug. He started vomiting all night now its a couple of times a day but his stomach is obviously hurting him, as he cries from pain. He is still happy and doing all the things he should be doing (in between bouts of illness). I'm wondering if anyone has any advice??

He had the swine flu vaccine in December.

Have you tried NHS direct? They might have had other people phone up about a similar thing.

He may have a residual infection which is lowering his imune system. I would take him to the gp to be checked over and if all comes back ok then get some Minadex for him. Tastes vile but really works. here

Ill have a look for minadex thanks for that :0)
