We all came down with the stomach flu this spring. Throwing up (couldn't even keep down water for awhile), diarrhea, fever and chills. My son caught it first and was sick three days. I had it next and was over the worst of it in about 24 hrs. My husband had it last and he felt miserable for a day or so. I hope it's a long time before we go through anything like this again.

My son had a fever that lasted for 3-4 days so we took him into the pedi. The fever was between 101 & 102, even with Tylenol. She took a listen & he had caught bronchitis. It then went deeper into his lungs & turned into bronchiolitis (caused by RSV). It sucked. He had to do breathing treatments with a nebulizer & tonight was his last treatment. Yay!

My son is 14 months old & sticks EVERYTHING in his mouth. I try to watch him but I can't get everything. I hope your little one doesn't have it, but its worth heading to the pedi to get him/her checked out.

Good luck!
