im pretty sure my 5 year old ds has the stomach flue, several people at school have had it but it only lasted for 24 hours, and pretty bad for them. 

 

ds threw up 2 nights ago, once, no fever. 

 

fever of 100.1 today with vomiting and lethargy. 

 

sounds like the stomach flue to me, then he tells me hes been eating grass at school...*ug*  so do any of you know what i can ask doc about when i call in the morning if hes still sick? parasites...anything elsy you can think of from eating grass ont he school playground. (in no way is this grass clean)   

 

just looking for things to bring up to doc tomorow. thanks for the ideas!

I said call doc immediately but what I meant was talk to the triage nurse in the doctor's office.

I'd wait and see what happens. My thinking is that anything he ate 2 days ago would be pretty much out of his system by now.
