Been vomiting since yesterday evening, have a temp of 38-40 on and off
Baby was ill and vomiting over weekend, me and dh off today, he has diarrhea. In laws have taken the toddler as we are both very weak, negative lat flows.
Just been lying on the sofa, keep alternating between puking my guts and praying it will end, don't know what to do.
Both feeling very woozy and can barely stand, keep getting chills
So hungry but when I think of eating I feel sick to my stomach.
Help.

Sounds like norovirus given its extreme nature.

Not a huge amount you can do but ride it out. It’s the nastiest virus in existence in my opinion! Give me covid any day 🙈

Don’t worry about eating, hydration is most important. Can you keep water down? Tiny sips? Rehydration salts would be ideal to sip on? When the vomiting stops, plain food. Toast, rice, crackers .. give your stomach time to recover. Some people swear by activated charcoal tablets to help a stomach bug 🤷🏼‍♀️

Be aware your toddler is probably still pretty infectious if they’ve been ill this weekend. He’s quite likely to pass it onto your in-laws 🥴
