DD (5) tummy ache and no appetite seems quite unwell

[cardy]

DD woke in the early hours of Sat morning with tummy ache and didn't really go back to sleep as her tummy was hurting too much. She was sick on Sat am but seemed to improve (except very tired) during the day - until last night when going to bed said her tummy really hurt, this has gone on all day today and she had been sick again (but not lots like a sickness bug). She has had normal poos. The pain seems to come in waves and she seems very distressed when she gets it. DH has just taken her to the emergency doctor (as it got so bad that we thought it was an appendicitus). The doc said it is wind, and prescribed calpol, hot drinks and a hot water bottle. No diifference so far.

My question - can wind really cause complete loss of appetite, vomitting and lethergy?

Any other suggestions

anyone?

Well, no advice really, but my DD has been the same over the weekend, not being sick constantly as you would expect with a bug, but at intervals, last night at one, then this morning at 7, and the same the day before. I am putting it down to a tummy bug, she keeps saying ahe is hungry, but even the blandedst things are coming back a few hours later. She does seem to be prone to bugs and they do last a few weeks with her...the vomiting will slow down to once a day eventually, then every other day then disappears. She has had no tummy bug in 6 mths, so not too badly off!

Is she in a lot of pain with it? DD seems to be in agony. She's just lying on the sofa and every 20 mins or so crying with pain which lasts a couple of minutes. DH taking her to the docs this am.
