Hi!
Is there still a stomach virus going around? What is the typical course? My 18 month old has been throwing up every half hour for the last few hours. Her brother wasn't feeling great the other day. She did have her dtap vaccine today, yet has never had a reaction to it. hmmm...these things make me nervous!
Thank you

What can I do next?

Looks like it *could* be a side effect of the vaccine . . . up to 1 in 50 kids? And of course it could be something else too. I would check with the doctor.

Hmmm ... I had a very sour stomach on Sunday eve and all day Monday. Missed a day of work. No vomiting, however.

Yes.
Here in my city, it has been going around since May.
Both for kids and adults.

Being your child is young, tell the Pediatrician to get advisement.
Make sure she does not get dehydrated.
But only a tablespoon of water or clear liquid every so often.

We've got one going around here. It usually starts with a fever and then soon after, vomiting starts. One of my kids had it one day, seemed to feel fine the next and then threw up the next a.m. and had diarrhea. His sister woke from a nap, threw up twice, had a fever most of the day and then was fine.

Stomach bugs... yuck.
