Worried about DGS aged 4

They were staying with us for 5 days during which time he was unwell. He has gone home now - not far away - and he is still the same. He has no temperature, no diarrhoea, no rash, no general viral malaise - but he is vomiting every day. This started a couple of days before he came to us, so it has been over a week now. He appears perfectly well and is running about and hungry, then he suddenly starts to groan and cry and is sick. Then he falls asleep and continues to be unwell until the next morning when he wakes up as jolly as can be. You think he is better but the come that afternoon the whole cycle starts again.

He was in hospital overnight on Saturday as he was in such distress they feared he might have an intussusception; but the paediatrician came in and said he did not think it was and sent him home.

My DD is trying to get an appointment with the doc for tomorrow.

Has anyone else ever had a child doing this? - he seems perfectly well in the mornings, then everything goes downhill again. He has lost a lot of weight.

Hope it carries on improving, it looks like we've all been worrying on your behalf * luckygirl*…you must be exhausted with it all, not to mention the poor wee lad's mum and dad. Hoping to hear more good news tomorrow.

That is really encouraging Luckygirl. smile
We often make these infections sound much less serious than they really are. A "bug" can cover anything from a 24 hour stomach upset to D&V to E.Coli and other serious and notifiable infections.

Fingers crossed that your little DGS has turned a corner, Lucky. Now for his mum and dad to find ways to build up his strength again without too much pressure on his tum. ?
