I've posted about this before but it's still happening over a year later - my nearly 4 yo vomits for 24-48 hours every time he gets any kind of virus (runny nose, cough etc). It's been going on since he was 18 months old. It's always the same, starts as a sniffle and then a night or two of coughing, then every single time he spends two days in bed unable to keep anything down and too weak to get up.
It's definitely not just from swallowing snot or coughing too much, it's proper vomiting. No one else in the house gets ill, I'm sure it's not a gastro thing.
It's just awful because obviously he's spent the last 3 years catching lots of colds, but unlike other toddlers who can deal with it as a runny nose and cough, it wipes him out for days. I'd say he gets this every 6-8 weeks, even more during the winter (I know that's a normal amount of viruses for an under 5). Spoken to the GP a few times who said it can just be normal for some kids, but I'm just desperate to do something to help him! He's a tiny little thing and I'm sure it's affecting his growth that he's throwing up for days every few months.
Has anyone else's kids have this? No one I know has. Did they grow out of it/did you find some kind of solution? Thanks.
