Have had D&V for the since Monday night V has stopped D continues, but feel dizzy like I have had too much to drink.

any tips?
I know that for D&V I just need to stay hydrated and sit it out. but what about the dizzy bit??

Dehydration, low blood sugar or perhaps part of the virus.

Re hydration sachets - water on it's own doesn't do it so well.

Poor you - tis misery!

now am I right in thinking that re hydration stuff is half a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of sugar? I don't have any in the house so just wondering if I could make one up?

Not sure how you make it up, sorry.

Can anyone pick some up for you? It is revolting, but helps! Maybe get some loperamide too if you can take that to stop the poo.
