Child with possible viral infection

[allinull]

My 6 year old daughter has had bouts with vomiting and diarrhea for two weeks now. I am concerned now that she has had cramping and diarrhea for almost a full week. I started with diarrhea and fever yesterday myself. Should I be concerned or just let it run its course?

I think I know exactly what this is.

Sounds like exposure to BUTYL.  and it can be in cleaning products used at home or at her day care.  

It may show up earlier for her because she has had more exposures in her life and she is more sensitive to BUTYL

BUTYL causes ME, CFIDS, CFS, FM 'gulf war syndrome'

Reaction is IMMEDIATE for me.  Usually it is loosening of the sinuses to loosening of the bowels.  Ask yourself what is different for you than before this started up.  EVEN who is around you differently before, as there can be second hand exposure ... not just direct exposure such as the cleaning products, paints, stains that are used ...

If your Duaghter has still vomitting and diarrhea a visit to the Doctor may be a good thing as she may need some medication. ,if this has eased off make sure you are giving her plenty of fluids to re-Hydrate her. light food.
