May 16th

The most common call I am getting today is about the tummy bug.
This particular bug has started with a day or two of vomiting, but then has moved to very persistent loose stools that have lasted for more than a week.
The kids seem like they are getting better, but the minute they get too ambitious with the diet, they start vomiting again.
Time will fix this. Probiotics and a very boring, bland starchy diet will get you through.
We also have complaints of a cough that lingers and lingers. We have not seen a lot of fevers or wheezing.
Several kids have complained about sore throats, but today all of the strep tests that we ran were negative.
Of course we saw several ear infections.

Stay well,
Nurse judy
