vomitting 11mo...any ideas?

[roosmum]

bit of a long shot (too boring for most to read i guess) but any ideas why an 11mo would be vomitting?
ds has been sick abt 4 times in 12 hrs.
no rash/spots that i can see.
temp seems normal.
he hasn't been sick for AGES before this...
anyone??

stomach upset , like a rotavirus ? Won't necessarily make him unwell as such, but watch out for diaorrhea over the next day or so. Has he been at a childcare or activity group ?

Loads of vomiting viruses around atm. Dd (same age as your ds) has had it, and so has ds. It's really common atm. Just keep up the fluids. Give dioralyte if they will take it, and their normal milk.

thanks you two!

no diarrhoea - yet! - lizs. he seems mainly normal in himself tho.
just really hope he's not developing anything.

aloha, shall i just watch him, keep giving milk etc, & see how it goes? antibiotics = useless for viruses, aren't they?
calpol etc?

he's never been unwell before, am not liking this at all!! worry - ugh!

Ah, he'll be fine!

i know, i know...over-anxious first timer here!

does he eat bananas? if so i always find they help dd with stomach upsets.
