Hmmm, I would be inclined to wait, unless you think there's something the GP can do. It could be a 24 hour type of bug, and it's not been that long yet. Really important to keep him hydrated (with Gastrolyte etc), but there's probably not much else a Dr can do for you. And I hate to say this, but it saves spreading what is a possibly a contagious tummy bug around.
Having said that, you're his mum, and you will know best. If you think he needs medical attention, then by all means take him, but if not, then maybe wait and see if he's better tomorrow. Good luck, it can be really hard to know what to do.
ETA Okay, sounds like I'm a bad mummy, I'd go with the nurse's advice LOL!
Took him to the GP cause his stomach looked strange when he was breathing... it looked like it was vibrating when he breathed out... and the fact his lips were dry (never happened before).
Was told he has a middle ear infection but also something else going on... was told to take him home, give him a sip of drink every 10 minutes and if he wee'd in the next two hours to take him to the ER.
I know he hasn't wee'd since at least 9am but don't remember changing a wet nappy at all since before bed last night... the diarrehea at 9am was such a mess I couldn't tell if he was wet or not.
Poor little dude is not himself at all... not even his sickself...
sounds like the muscous has made it's way to his tummy. That can cause vomiting and the change in bowel habit. What did the phlem look like?
The fact he is lethargic, pale and going from hot to cold sounds like he might have an infection going on. I'd get him checked out. Poor little man. And poor you - you've had a run lately! Hope he feels better soon.
