My son is 3. Last week he came down with a stomach virus (fever, diarrhea). His fever broke on Sat & the diarrhea stopped also. However he is still crying & complaining about his stomach. He is also making up things to cry about, "My foot is broken," "My finger broke," "I bit my lip." These all the excuse he made yesterday for his crying. I spent 4 hours of one on one time with him today & still he is crying & fussing. This is not like him, he loves to laugh & play & all he wants to do is lay around & cry!! What on earth can I do to get to to SNAP OUT OF IT???
my twins have a serious virus causing shocking bouts of vomiting and diarrhea for days my son recovered quickly but my daughter was almost hospitilised. the virus was so potent that it was only by a stool sample they could tell it was rotavirus.
Now when a child gets a virus its effects willbe far more severe than ours and they will also be affected ny viruses that adults wont be bothered by.
the twins complained about sore tummies constanly afterwards even though they were not vomiting ets, i then did a little research and discovered that some viruses can actually upset their stomachs for many weeks after and may even cause a relapse. Now when they dont feel good they ask for the sick bag which has become a fear for them of getting sick again. As soon as they get a feeling in their tummies they cannot explain( butterflies in belly, hungry, wind pain etc) they say they are sick.
They can also become confused as to where a pain is especially if they are suffering all over body pains like joint pain often a sympton of flus and viruses.
He may have developed a fear of being sick as well and so will be hypersensitive to any sort of pain.He may also have felt special and be wanting to replay the mummy love.
It has only been days since he was sick, be patient and if you didnt take him to the doctor prior then please do as this will also give him some reassurance that he is ok and will make him feel a little better.
just remember that children can really be knocked about by bugs in their tummys.
dont tell him that he is to sick then to do things as he will then put on a brave face so he doesnt miss out and if he is genuinely sick this could be harmful to him.
