Constantly sick dd2, getting worried now.

[MegSophandEmma]

DD2 has never been the healthiest of children from 4 weeks old developed bronculitous and was in and out of A&E for the next two years. She gets sick even if there doesn't appear to be a bug going round. Both DD1 and wash there hands after each toilet trip and before meals.

Wednesday she was off school due to constant vomiting and returned to normal by the afternoon. DD1 then started vomiting yesterday and is now fine. I have just been upstairs now and DD2 has just started vomiting again. Am starting to worry with her constantly weak immune system. Also a few months ago she kept having temp spikes for about 2 weeks every day. Gp said it was viral but that was very weird. Is anyone elses lo like this???

How old is she?

My dd is a bit like this, i think some of them just are. She's just 7.

I just about manage to not let it worry me.

DD is 5. I have never seen anyone catch a bug be absolutley fine the day after and then just catch it again.

I think I am going to take her to GP's again on Monday and explain my worries.
Even my 10 mth old hasn't been sick and surely out of us all her immune sytem should be the worst??

MegSoph - my dcs are not like this, but I have read on Mnet recently that children with norovirus can seem to have a "day off" between days of vomiting.

Also, when little ones are low with a virus, they are more susceptible (sp?) to other slightly different variations of the virus doing the rounds.

It all sounds very stressful and tiring for you.

If she is still throwing up by tomorrow morning then I would def call NHS Direct for a proper chat. You often get longer to talk to them and a more detailed conversation about dcs' symptoms than you do when you go to your GP, ime. They will as number one priority ask you if you have been giving her sips of water - even if she throws it back up, the short time it has been in her system may help to prevent dehydration.

Sorry you are going through this.

Thanks eek

Have brought her down to lie on the sofa as I am non stop running up and down. she has her water bottle filled to control her drinking she is having her sips. Have Diorylite (SP) in also just incase it goes on to long.

Wouldn't mind I have been off all week with flu mixed in with tonsilitous lol goning to call this house "The House of Bugs"

Sounds grim. Hope you all get some sleep and feel a bit brighter in the morning. If she is chatty and perky (although I do realise this is very late in the day for her) then that's a good sign. I think you only need to worry if she is floppy (not just normal sleepy) and a bit "out of it" iyswim. Otherwise it can wait til morning.

Oh and I know what you mean about house of bugs. Our household of four was bug-ridden from 21st December until - about a week ago, actually. Coughs, colds, temperatures, etc. The local pharmacy has done well out of us. We are not prone to vomiting though, so can understand your anxiety.

Fingers crossed for a reasonable night.

my DD3 is like this, and has been since birth.

she was born with chickenpox with meant that she was immune compromised anyway, and since then has had pretty much anything and everything going, from gastro bugs to wee infections to pnuemonia x 3!, to ear infections to tonsilitis x many....even thought to be diabetic for a month when she was 4 and then found to be glucose intolerant.

the list goes on, and from 2 has investigations, each throwing up different things and then telling me it isn't.

she is now in a run of 6wks of blood tests twice a week, testing for cyclical neutropenia. tis bloody hard, but we cope now.....she is 9yrs so we have learnt to!

you have my sympathies tho as it is horrid when they keep being ill with no apparent cause and all the docs can fob you off with is "oh, it's just a virus".

makes me so cross, as be that as it may, virus's cause pain and suffering for those with them and most especially their scared mummies and daddies....some sympathy and compassion from the docs go a long way!!
