Ds2 was off scholl thursday and friday last week, sick again saturday morning butthe fine for the rest of the weekend.
Sunday night was the worst night I've ever had, he was up roughly every 35 minutes, all night, sick once butthen just retching mostly after.

Fine again yesterday, very tired and lethargic but eating and drinking little bits and bobs.

But then he was sick again last night at about 10:30pm. Slept all night and still sleeping now.

Is there anything the Doc can do? we have dyrolite (or whatever its called) and he's been drinking sugar water to.

I wouldn't bother, DS had this.

Sick on the Friday night, slightly off colour during the day but fine.

Sick on the Saturday night, slightly off colour during the day but fine.

Too poorly to go on his school trip on the Monday.

Right as rain Tuesday, ditto Wednesday.

Exorcist style puking Wednesday night.

Off school on the Thursday.

Back to normal on the Friday, but still complained of flashes of naseau.[sp]

Interesting post this! I had a vile bug Thursday night/friday morning...dh had to take time off to look after the younger kids. Then no more sickness/backdoor trots til this morning! And eldest DS was sick as a dog Saturday morning, right as rain Sunday/Monday, but had the trots last night and this morning so is off today....I think this is just the kind of bug it is, I am going to give it another day or so and see if it settles. But if you are worried I would call the doc or NHS direct to check.
