My DS (3) has had sickness and diarrhoea since Sunday and has not been able to keep anything down, not even water.
He brightened up yesterday, although was still sick and I thought he had turned a corner. However, after a full 12 hours sleep he was very lethargic this morning and didn't want to speak or even take a sip of water. His nappy was dry and he started vomiting bile so we decided to take him down to A & E to get him checked over. When he was there he managed to drink a couple of glasses of orange juice and brightened up slightly before falling asleep. The hospital were happy with him so they discharged him,and since then he hasn't been sick again. He has had an ice lolly, and even had some beans on toast (he asked for it even though he doesn't normally eat it!)
However, he has been sleeping a lot, probably about 4 hours on and off this afternoon. Is this normal? The doctor was a bit worried about the lethargy earlier, but they coudln't that worried surely if they discharged him. He is responsive when awake but I don't know if I'm worrying needlessly here.
Thanks
