Hi, I'm just after a bit of general advice, on whether I should be concerned. My 11 month old developed a fever Sunday night. By Monday afternoon he began throwing up. This has continued on and off to today with now loose nappies as well. We've guessed it's probably a stomach bug as he already attends nursery. However the fever and vomiting have shown no signs of slowing down and he has been sleeping pretty much on and off for the past few days.
Luckily he's been able to breastfeed but then he falls back to sleep immediately afterwards. No interest in toys or anything around him. I took him to the doctors yesterday who couldn't find anything wrong except for a fever of 40 and suggested it was probably gastroenteritis or 'something viral'. I've been trying to keep his fever down with calpol and ibuprofen but it still comes back up. I'd have thought those are 24 hour things and generally babies bounce back fairly quickly from stomach bugs or so I thought.
Obviously if he continues being unwell I will call back the gp again tomorrow. I just wondered if anyone had any experience or advice in the meantime that could ease my mind?
