My husband has gastroentiritis, what are the chances the kids will get it?

[NAB3littlemonkeys]

He has been poorly since Friday and so far we are all fine (except for colds/coughs.)

Make sure everyone washes their hands every so often and no coughing in other peoples faces - easier said than done with little ones.

It could just be something your dh has got but unfortunately these things can pass be passed on easily.

Fingers crossed for you.

I was thinking if they haven't got it by now they should be okay. Does that follow or are they still at risk? He has diagnosed himself btw.

Wondering the same, only its dd2 who seems to have it - so far, no one else has it. Good luck!

I'm no expert but I tend to think if no-one else has fallen ill within 3/4 days then it's a one-off.

Just be scrupulous about hygiene for a bit longer though to be on the safe side.

Are you sure that he has Gastro? there is a bug going around at the moment according to my Doc,where you either get the cough/cold symptoms or the sickness and upset tummy, perhaps the kids are showing one sign and he is showing the other? Two of my kids had the sickness and one had the cold.

He is icy cold, stomach ache, head ache, chronic number 2s.

DS1 is now ocmplaining of a stomach ache.
