HELP.... I need the nurses help line number please......

[Pretty Butterfly]

My 3 littlies have had the vomiting and diarrhoea bug thats going around town... its hard to shake and folks tend to have it for awhile......

But they keep getting it back, and were going on 3 weeks...... they can be fine for 2 days, then it will hit for 2 days.. fine another day, have it again..... I've scrubbed out the house and washed EVERYTHING, but I cannt get this damn bug out of my house!!!

Za has woken up vomiting again... poor bubba, he has copped it the most....

I really dont wanna take him to the hossy if they cant do anything, and I cant get him to my doc till Monday.... was hoping to call the nurses line and see what they say before going to hossy.....

So, please, can I have the number, or any ideas or help would be great ladies..... thankyou........

Oh no, the poor things . I only have the number for Nurse On Call which is for Victoria, I'm not sure if it will work for you? It's 1300 60 60 24. Otherwise maybe call your local hospital and ask who you can call?

I hope your little man feels better soon .

Ask the doctor to check for giardia, that can live in the gut for ages and recur, I have had it twice and its awful.
Hope they all get better soon.

Thanks ladies.......
She advised us to get Za to the doc or hossy today...... she said this virus is pretty much Aussie wide at the moment and they are feilding 100's of calls about it.. poor kiddies...
She said it is probably just the virus, but he may have something bacterial too and to get it checked out...
Will call the doc again at 9am, and if he still cant take him, were off to hossy.....

Mrs Mac, what is that babe???

Giardia is a bug that can be picked up from water as far as I know - it can live in the stomach and cause sickness for ages.
