My 6 year old has been unwell for a few days .

Wednesday night she had had a really upset stomach and diarrhoea in her sleep and through thursday and friday she was off food quiet and had a temp. Friday afternoon she starting being sick even after drinking a small sip of water.

By saturday morning she was holding her tummy and complaining of pain she says its on the right side when you feel it but her tummy is soft.

Yesterday morning she hadnt kept any water down all night and she was drowsy - we were really worried about her so we talk her to the out of hours who sent her to a and e.yesterday she had a normal temperature.

They said her blood sugar had dropped from not eating and drinking and gave her some medicine to stop her being sick then gave her water out of a syringe for an hour. This perked her up so we went home.

Last night she seemed ok - she managed to drink an ld have eat a bit of toast

Sorry accidentally pressed post!

So last night she was ok but this morning she woke up in pain again and was sick again.

She now has a slight temp (37.9) and is saying her stomach hurts.

How long should this go on for?
She is the youngest of 6 and tbh this is really different from other bugs we have seen!

I feel a little worried about her but we have already been told its a bug!

I think there must be a really bad stomach bug going round atm. My little one started being sick with a high temp last Thursday and we're still battling it! More the runs and the stomach cramps for us. How's their eating?

Definitely a bad bug doing the rounds. My 3 year old started with stomach pain at bedtime lastnight, by 9:30pm she was being sick every 45 mins until 2am, then the other end started. Today she’s been asleep and still being sick. I hate seeing her so poorly.
