Is there a bug around at the mo which gives high temp & vomiting?

[scoobysnax]

Just wondering if there is a bug going around or if dd has picked something up by drinking swimming pool water again...
Symptoms high temperature for a day and a half plus vomming!

we've been stucked in the house for 4 days,ds,dd and i got the bug,no temperature,just vomiting and diorrhea but some of our friends did get a temperature an vomiting,hope your dd gets well soon

Oh God! Yes! We've been in since Thursday. ds has now stopped throwing up, and has eaten a bit today. He has been very ill, and has hardly got up off the sofa. Poor little thing has now developed a dredful rash all over his face and body . This is either due to the virus, or an allergy to the amoxicillin he was given. Poor thing!

Yes. Ds1 has had it for a couple of weeks on and off. He keeps having a day off school, then is fine, then needing another day off. I am having his urine tested tomorrow because it has been going on for so long. Upset tummy too, lovely.

Last weekend I had some bug for about 48 hours. I was being sick all day and was pretty hot. Luckily DD didn't get it - suspect she might have brought it from nursery though.

Hope your dd is feeling better soon.

I got it the morning of my neices christening i could barely walk and had to go back to the hotel room i was sick every hour for two days. When i got home one by one i kept getting phone calls off the guests to say thanks alot they caught it! Its horrible but the good news was my kids didn't catch it and they were with me the whole time in the room. I feel for you its hard work looking after a vomiting child, just really try and boil sheets and disenfect everything. I hope your daughter gets better soon scooby, good luck

Nearly everyone I know has had it including all of us. It started with eldest twin ds, then ds2, then me and then DH.

And guess who made the biggest fuss!

At my ds's school a class of 18 was depleted to 5 last week - I'm in sunny Dorset and everyone I know has some family member affected by it!!

I think these kind of vomiting bugs are nearly as commonplace as the common cold. My dd caught a vomiting bug x4 last autumn / winter (mostly via her Day Nursery)

The Winter Vomiting virus is doing the rounds again it seems!

9 wards in a Glasgow Hospital were closed yesterday coz of it!

Thanks everyone who posted on this subject - it's really useful to know that it's a virus that's doing the rounds, just have to hope that dp & I escape it's clutches...
DD only seemed affected for under 48 hours then ate like a horse to catch up with the missed meals!

Mine are still passing it all around, though it is mutating among them, giving them different symptoms. Ds1 was off again yesterday, dd1 was off today, and looks like she will be for a few more days yet.
