Stomach bug has hit our house. My 12 year old has been hit most recently and it’s severe.
I have terrible emetophobia. So this week has been very strenuous for me mentally.
Advice please. I have 4 children, so I’m not a newby at this whole parenting thing. My toddler got the stomach bug earlier this week and it spread to me and then my two middle children in turn. It’s been bad but manageable for all of us. I’m still recovering. Tonight my 12 year old woke up about 2 hours ago, vomiting. She has gotten sick 6 times in 2 hours. The frequency is increasing. What can I do to help her from home? I plan to call the pediatrician once they open, but do you have any experience in managing stomach illnesses of this severity? It’s been a trying week and I’m running on empty at this point. I’ve never seen her get sick this often. Any advice appreciated.
From a tired and not full recovered mom.
