[twinklingtrace2]

we thought he started with d&v on thursday night as was v loads, since then not eaten just been drinking, yesterday started the d but both d&v is yellow water. anyway about an hour ago he sstarted sreaming in pain i asked where and its in his right side, wasabout to call for help when he pucked again, the pooed and now hes sleeping. this is the 6th in months. some things telling me its not d&v but may be appendicitis:. can the pain go and come back? it tummy is hard and swollen

ring NHS Direct

Not sure, but better to be safe than sorry so I would get him checked out. Hope he ok

thing is hes sleeping now, went straight to sleep after the vomiting just not like him

I agree with the better safe than sorry comment- get him checked out asap. Hope he is OK. x

I wold def ring, they will be able to advise you on whether to take him to A&E/ring your out of hours GP. If he is in pain and has been ill since Thurs he should be checked out.

NHS direct for sure. They'll ask you if he's rousable so ring froma mobile or walk about phone if you can.

Hope he's ok.

If ds 6 was screaming in pain i would take him a and e ! poor thing

Ring your A & E NOW and ask to speak to a paediatric A & E nurse or doctor. Better to be safe than sorry.

ringing now

twinkling hope it ok if not i would wake him and take him a and e!

Let us know how you get on. x

This is a very good site for information, my GP recommended it. Have a look and see if the symptoms sound familiar (I see you are ringing though, that is the best plan!)

if he's been like this 6x in last few months, has been unable to eat since thursday and is now "screaming in pain" i am that you have not sought medical advice for him before now.

am not a medic... but... he could have appendicitis needing immediate attention, could be dehydrated due to all the d and v, could have bowel obstruction needing immediate attention.......

if it's 6th time in months it doesnt sound like a bug does it?

please get him some proper help... why wouldnt you?

control freaky - not helpful.

No not helpful.

go with what feels right.

controlfreaky...Why the harsh tone I wouldnt have taken my DS to the doc for D&V unless showing signs of dehydration. Not a lot they can do. And my Dh who is a medic would second me.

I would ring NHS direct and speak to the or your out of hours service.Hope he is OK xxxx

we have been to gp with this every time

999

aWW tWINKLING,DON'T FEEL GUILTY XX

Sometimes you can have a "Grumbling" appendix befroe symptoms become severe.

Have you had any luck with NHS direct?

Have NHS direct told you to ring for an ambulance?

twinkling don't panic just better to be safe at this time hoped he ok!
controlfreaky my ds 6 can quite easily pick up many bugs in 6 mths ??? your tone is not really fair or helpful to tw even if you mean it to be!

Ok. prob not reading this but get dh to stay with him get mobile phone, pjs etc, essentials and for you in case you have to stay in. Hope he is ok. Good luck.

yes was waiting for them to phone back, but ds started screaming again

Your ringing 999 now?
