Hi All,
we had an experience last week of our little boy vomiting with high fever over about 24-36 hours. I put it down to the bug that had been circulating at his kindy, big mistake, I took him to the Doctors on the Tuesday really to confirm my own diagnosis, only to be told he had a severe middle ear infection, bronchialitis, and a raging sore throat. Now how bad did I feel :( . Even though he hadn't really displayed any of the symptoms for those things in particular. Apparently vomiting is a symptom of many infections.
I write this as a word of warning to all mums, don't self diagnose, you could be realy missing the real problem.
Cheers.
