Sorry to hear you're ill. I had a similar bug last week which lasted 48 hours. It was horrid. Try to drink little and often. Perhaps get your parents to get some dioralyte in for you. I also liked the resolve sachets as I had a bad dehydration headache.

If you can get your parents to have the kids, just stay in bed.

Start with small sips and hopefully they'll stay down.

I hope you feel better soon.

Candy how many doses of the anti b's had you taken before you started being ill ??

Just asking because on xmas eve 07 I took one dose of anti b's for a possible ear infection and about 2 hours later I started being violently ill with d&v, temp, shakes everything. The vomitting was uncontrolable and so violent.

I did ask at the tim if it could be down to the ab's but was told it was probably a bug. It does sound very similar to what you have though.

I had had ab's before as a child but not as an adult at all.

I had only taken one tablet. My gp said it was hard to tell if it was a reaction or a bug but I will never be taking them again thats for sure.

I am not sure what you can be given as an alternative but there should be something.

Hope you feel better soon.

spoke to the oncall doctors and she told me that she thinks it wasnt the penecillin as you wouldnt get a fever with it,she's thinks its coincidence
told me to take some diocalm ,which i have done
she wants me to continue with the amoxicillin but am sooooooooooo scared to
incase i throw up again
