Stomach Flu..

Dillion starting having frequent poo 5-6 times last Sunday and his Daddy also came down with stomach flu on Monday.

D been having frequent poo since then with no vomiting. Its the 2nd time that my 2 boys are down with Gastro Flu at the same time! And very thankful that I was not affected by the virus once again.

Decided to self-medicate D since I had medicine. But his condition did not improved so brought him to the PD on Thurs and was diagnosed with mild stomach flu and not diarrhea that I thought he had.

So I sent him to school since he had not poo-ed since the morning. But received a call from the Centre that he had puked out his entire lunch after he woke up from the nap.

Quickily brought him home as he looked very pale and refused to walk on his home. I guess he was dehydrated as he kept drinking and puking whatever he swallowed back home.
He was so listless that he would only want to lie on the bed the entire night.

Called his PD and she told me that its expected for him to puke and to monitor him if he puke more that 5 times, to bring him back to see her the next day.

Fed him 1/4 bowl of porridge and luckily he did not puke after that.

He revert back to his usual active self on Friday!

What I learnt from the PD:
It normal to poo 2-3 times and formula milk can be given.
If poo 4-5 times a day then switch to Soy milk.
