is it normal to be sick for this long?

[hamandegger]

DD started being sick on tuesday night, and has been sick on and off since. she can now keep down water, but any food comes straight back up. WEnt to the doctors yesterday, he said upper respitory virus causing it, and nothing can be done. im worried though as she is just in and out of sleep all day, and usually very active. I think i will call docs again before weekend - has anyone experienced anything similar? She usually has a very strong stomach. DD is 3 by the way.
Thanks

My DD had a high temperature all of last week - no vomiting, but very lethargic and not eating and very sleepy. It can be worrying. She was unwell from Friday and it didn't clear up until the following Thursday. To be honest it is really only towards the end of this week that she seems back to normal. If you have any concerns, take her to out of ours doctor over the weekend. I was so worried about my DD I had her there once and then to my own GP at the start of the week again. They just said it was a virus and it would take its course.

thanks for all your replies. shes keeping water down, so will stick with just that, and keep fingers crossed it goes soon. thanks
