My 7 month old son got sick a week ago (Thursday) with typical stomach bug symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea). About two days after he got sick, I got sick, then my husband. For each of us it lasted about 2 days. Then, on Tuesday, we got a call from his daycare that he had diarrhea and a fever. I took him to the doctor and he said he had an ear infection, which could cause the diarrhea. He gave him an antibiotic. Of course, that gave him diarrhea as well. His poor bottom is bright red and he is in pain from the awful diaper rash. He still has a very small appetite and I've had trouble getting him to eat much since he first got sick. Finally today, I thought we were turning a corner and getting better. He took an entire bottle and had a semi-normal diaper.
And then, just as I gave him his last bottle before bed, he gagged and vomited the entire bottle. I bathed him again and he vomited again!
Is he just not over the first bug, or could it be circulating again?
