Sickness bug advice

2 replies

DD (6) has a sickness bug, she was sick every couple of hours from 7pm Saturday - 2.30pm Sunday. Then nothing till 6am today, then again at 4pm and 6.15pm. She hasn't eaten anything since 1pm Saturday as she had tummy ache before the sickness started. I'm not worried about dehydration as she is still weeing so must be keeping some of the water in. She is only sipping the water not gulping it, she won't take Dioralyte. I'm just wondering would you be worried that she's still being sick even without eating? I'd have thought it would have stopped by now as she's only drinking water, I know it has slowed down but I'm worried when she asks for food it will start up again. I have been offering food but she doesn't want it. I know you can't give me medical advice but I'm more looking for your experiences. I don't feel she needs medical attention (yet), but how long in your experience is it ok to go without food?

Have been dealing with this with DD3 since Saturday week. Every time she tried to eat it all started up again. She was very hungry poor thing, and couldn’t understand why we were insisting on just water. She also wouldn’t take dioralyte or lemonade. It was heartbreaking. Made me feel like an abusive parent. Finally managed to eat yesterday. Fingers crossed that’s the end of it.

Oh poor thing that's awful! We go away a week on Wednesday so I really hope it doesn't last too long as I'm bound to get it too!
