my dd1 was in hospital with this last week

she was vomiting i would say every 15 mins (shes 3 btw) and after a few hours of her refusing to drink anything whatsoever, everytime she wretched she would pass out (she would bring up green bile)

we called nhs 24 who immediately told us to go to hospital (because she was passing out) and we did and she was very dehydrated

she had very low bp and a fast pulse (because she was dehydrated) and she had a drip for 12 hrs

she also had diahorrea, a sample was sent (i dont know the name of the bug) but she has gastro enteritis (which i suppose is a broad name for any type of tummy bug)

i just wanted to tell you this so you can look for the signs, but it sounds like your dd is taking water and thats brilliant

hope she is better soon

she was fine after the drip (dr said she would probably have been ok if she had drunk water at home)

the diahorrea didnt appear til about 12 hrs after the vomiting (dont mean to worry you btw)

we were in an isolation room and it was bloody awful!

dh (of course) caught the bug and didnt recover for 2 days (MEN!)

Don't let her eat - fluids much more important.

managed to sip water and not vomit all day, then had bath and vomited up water. has been sleeping most of the day... not sure how much sleepiness is normal?

Also no Diahorea?

any suggestions? normally doesnt gastrenteritis cause it to come out both ends?

has she got a high temperature, dabihp?

I'd be concerned as she's being sick and is drowsy.

dabihp · 08/10/2005 20:32

she is warm, has got 'hot' on and off, but not really feverish...

adn she has had wet nappies, so at elast that means she isnt dehydrated, i think...

Our monkey (12 mnts) has come down with a tummy bug too. Think it's gastroenteritus, he started off vomiting last night, couldn't keep anything down and they had a bout of diahorrea but just the one this afternoon, it's been sickness mostly. He's fine inbetween bouts though, laughing and back to normal until his tummy begins to ache again. We did take him to a&e but it was obvious it was just a tummy bug so we didn't wait. He's in bed now, been on dry toast and water all day, nothing acidic and no milk, etc. How's your DD now, Dabihp?
