Toddler still not well

DS will be 2 at the end of feb. During the night on Tuesday he woke up being sick. His brother was being sick the previous Saturday so put it down to him having caught the bug. His sickness was a little strange. Every half an hour he would wake up fidgeting and crying but he was just heaving but it smelt like sick with nothing coming out. It sounded like he was going to be sick with the throat noise (if that makes sense) but it was like he couldn’t bring it up. Since then he just hasn’t been himself. He has gone from having a massive appetite to barely eating. He is sleeping more and not being the little energetic toddler he normally is. During the night he has been coughing but that seems to have stopped now. He also looks pale. Is there anything I should do or does it sound like it’s just maybe the sickness bug still hanging over him?

We’re in exactly the same boat in terms of when this started and age - accept DD has a high temp. I’ve had her checked out several times this week and every doctor says viral. Doesn’t seem to be improving. I am hoping she turns a corner very soon.

could be your DS is fighting it off but I would get him checked for peace of mind.

*except not accept… it’s the exhaustion typing…

@OliverBabish I can sympathise with the exhaustion! I’ve had a nightmare of a week with them both being ill😞 I’ll probably have him checked out then like you say for the peace of mind. It’s horrible seeing them not being themselves. Hoping both of our kids are better soon!

There's a lot of sickness bugs going round but my child was like this and turned out to be a UTI
