tummy bug? a bit gross

[Awakening] · 21-07-2009, 11:55 PM

Some help please??

My 2 yr old son has been vomiting lots in the last 2 hrs, hes at the point where its just bile now. His skin is also very yellow.
He hasnt had a dirty nappy today but has recently had lots of quite loose stools.
He also complained of a tummy ache a few days ago but seemed fine apart from that.
He's just fallen asleep...

I just want to know if anyones experienced anything like this recently, is it just a tummy bug or should i be more worried. Im usually very laid back about things but this has got me a bit worried.

Advice? Help? Please??

I won't be able to give much help 'cause I don't have a child nor have I ever had anything like this. All I can say is I think you should call your doctor or the hospital. It may well just be a stomach bug but its better to be safe :)
Hope he's ok.

thanks for you reply!
Ive called nhs direct but because of bloody swine flu it could be up to 12 hrs for the nurse to call back LOL oh dear me.
He's alright now i think.
Yeh its probably just a stomach ache but when i did those online diagnosis it came up with all sorts of scary things like menigitis and liver problems and got me all worried.
Im sure he'll be fine, just panicky for some reason!
thanks again

Lol, the joys of the NHS xD
The search probably came up with liver problems if you mentioned the yellow skin. But that could be a number of things. I mean people do go green/yellow when they're sick a lot.
Try not to worry.

It would be a good idea for you to contact a nurse/ doctor regarding this.
