My husband had gastroenteritis last week and my baby who is 8 months old seems to have caught it.
He’s had it last Wednesday. We have recently moved to a new area so in the process of changing doctors. Therefore I rang NHS who basically weren’t really interested. They said if he’s drinking some, that’s all that matters.
He’s been throwing up 2-3 feeds out of 5 daily since then. Not all of it but I’ve been giving him smaller amounts. 4/5oz instead of his usually 8oz.
He’s been having 2/3 explosive diarrhoea nappies a day since Wednesday.
He’s still alert, just still abit poorly.
I was surprised they weren’t interested in not even seeing him.
They basically said we have to ride it out.
He’s gone off his food so he’s not even getting nutrients from that.
I try to give him sips of water every 15 minutes or so.
I feel so bad for him. How long does it last? Shall I take him to A&E or will they just send me home?
