As the tittle says, my poor DP has come down with... Something.. He has had the runs (having to go at least every 15min-half hour), vomiting occasionally (maybe a total of 1-2 times a day) and bad stomach cramps.

I took him to the Dr this afternoon (after a fail attempt to be seen by a Dr in ED last night, pfft) and he said there has been a case of gastro going around town lately, usually lasting up to a week (). He suggested some "Stomach Ache & Pain Relief" tablets which don't seem to be making him feel any better in terms of the stomach cramps.
He has been eating small amounts since it started, mostly toast, and other bland foods (at my 'encouraging' hand )

But I was wondering is there anything else I/he can do to make it any better/go away faster/ease the pain? He's said that a warm/hot bath sometimes helps a little but not much and not every time. He's had 3 days off work so far from it (and we only just got back from holidays so cant really afford it but he cant work poor bugger) and is likely to have to stay home over the next few days too.

Any help would be much appreciated! xx
