Sickness bug advice

[Mummytron]

Hi
Basics are:
Dd1 (7) was fine yesterday, went quiet in the evening and wouldn't eat or drink. I put it down to tiredness from a busy day out. Slept fine. Woke up at 6 and threw up. Threw up about 4 times in the next 2 hours but it was just liquid (sorry for tmi!)
Then, it was like a switch was flicked, all better asking for drink, then food and now completely better thankfully.
Is this normal? I have a 12 year old too but fortunately we are not experienced in sickness bugs.
Thanks in advance

Anyone?

Yes vomiting expels the bugs/toxins and children are often being ill one minute and right as rain the next.

Yep just decontaminate everything.
The bug normally has a 48hr incubation period so be prepared for more family to go down with it.
Change toothbrushes or sterilise them.

Yes I knew about the 48 hour thing which is why I was surprised that she was 'done' in 2 hours. Is it not a worrying thing to be sick first thing?

All children are different, two of my children will be sick once or twice then want food stright after and then be completely fine.
My 2 year old old will suffer with sickness for 2-3 days and is really poorly with it.
Hopefully that's the end of it for your dd.

Everyone reacts differently to bugs. Being sick first thing in the morning is no different to any other time of days, my ds has had bugs were he's woke at 6am vomiting, other times it's been 10pm etc. Very normal for children to throw up a few times and act normal within a few hours, it's usually adults who suffer worse in my opinion. However don't give her anything junky or processed for about 24 hours because her tummy will still be sensitive and it could cause a relapse in the vomiting so stick to water/squash and plain foods. 48 hours is how long it takes to spread so in a day or two other family members may or may not start to get sick.

Ok thanks
She's had a bland day, squash, pasta, rice and gone to bed happily. I was amazed in how quick her turnaround was!
Thanks all

She's not been sick anymore and went to a birthday party today. Seems very tired now

She is still contagious right now and you've sent her to a birthday party....

Calm yourself down, it's her best friend, it was just the 2 of them and I checked first.
Only comment if you're going to be helpful

Plus she was over the 48 hour thing

I am fully calm, thanks for your comment though. Hardly a party if she's just met up with one friend? Bit misleading.

Misleading? I'm so sorry for that. Wasn't my intention. Maybe I've misread your comment then...
What exactly did you mean when you made me feel like an idiot for sending her to a party infectious?
I never post anything negative towards others and until today have never had one to me. I also wouldn't normally retaliate but am tired and worried about my dd and searched for some advice.
Like I said, only post if it's helpful

You can't tell me what to post and what not to post unfortunately that's for MNHQ to decide. I was never trying to be nasty, but in my opinion it was poor judgement to send your daughter to a "party" with a recent stomach bug. Then it turns out it wasn't a party, just her hanging out with one friend so I'd made a comment on misinformation by that point.

Oh you're one of those where it's always someone else's fault!
I sure am going to hell for saying it was a birthday party! 😂
Thanks for cheering me up!! 🤣🤣🤣

Wow you're really over reacting, you must be tired. I said poor judgement not hell. And I'm sorry I stated facts, read you posts back, you said the wrong description, deal with it.

I didn't deliberately give you false facts, yes I'm tired and suffer from anxiety. Not thinking straight and needed advice.
Poor judgement? Maybe.
Hope you never need to seek reassurance on here and come across someone so quick to judge.

Thanks to everyone else who didn't judge

I also suffer anxiety, and I happened to think you were wrong in your decision making, you took it as a personal attack because you're tired. I have came on here looking for reassurance many times and never responded this way when someone made a comment I didn't like. But tiredness can do an awful lot of things to people.

"You're wrong in your decision making" and "someone made a comment I didn't like."
I see this all the time on here but ignore them rather than make them feel worse.

I would have thought you'd be more sympathetic if you have anxiety too.

I'm done with this argument going nowhere, just hope you think twice next time you think someone is wrong or makes a comment you didn't like.

You've read my last post wrong, I meant you were the one who didn't like my comment not the other way around and I have also received comments I didn't like on my own posts, but I didn't overreact like you did, telling me to calm down when I was already calm and being defensive. This is forum where people air their opinions, my opinion was you made the wrong call, if you don't want people to say that then don't post! You can't always just receive positive comments that agree with you all the time?

Oh and if I'm honest, my anxiety is health related, germaphobia and emetophobia so I am unsympathetic to people who risk infecting others as it's my actual fear! So now you can understand where my disagreement with your actions comes from.

Yes I worked that out for myself.

Final point...She was past the 48 hours so she would have been back at school theoretically.
