DS, who is 10, woke up on Tuesday morning complaining of feeling sick and dizzy. He was sick three times in fairly quick succession and then spent the rest of the day, and the next few days, not doing much and not eating much. We thought he was on the mend, then last night he had several episodes of sandy coloured diarrhoea and was sick four or five times and was crying because his stomach was hurting so much.
He finally fell asleep about 2am and woke up seven hours later seemingly fine and asking for breakfast. He has eaten better today than he has all week and seems back to his old self.
Does this sound like a tummy bug or food poisoning? He had what could have been a dodgy burger in a service station on Monday but I'm not sure the final coup de grace, as it were, would have taken this long!
