Hi everyone,
Last Thursday my DS woke up with a temperature, gave calpol and nurofen which reduced it. He was very lethargic, no appetite etc. Saw doctor who checked ears, throat and no sign of infection.
He was sick after his milk before bed and fitful sleep. Friday pretty much the same but cheered up mid afternoon and had some tes so we thought he was over the worst. Then was sick again at 10pm in his cot. Then started to have a horrid upset tummy and generally very grumpy and listless. Carried on like this until yesterday morning when he had some toast and his tummy settled a bit, no more sickness etc. Slept reasonable well last night and took a feed fine this morning. He ate a little bit of breakfast and lunch and this afternoon was completely like his usual self, running around and smiling lots.
He ate a nice tea, had a lovely bath, took his milk before bed as normal and then projectiled everywhere.........
He keeps on seeming like he's getting better than being sick again yet isn't sick all the time. I rang my sister who is a GP and she said if he's keeping something in sometimes and not dehydrated then to just ride it out but I'm worried it's been 6 days now. He's not a very big boy anyway and looks really skinny.
Has anyone else's DCs had this? How long should I expect it to last and is there anything I can give him to help?
Thanks
