🤢Tummy bugs can make your little one feel pretty miserable but usually you can care for your child at home and they’ll recover within about a week.
The biggest risk is dehydration, which is when the body loses too much water and salts and can’t perform its usual functions properly. This can be very serious.
➡️Swipe for symptoms of dehydration in children.
✅Keep offering breast milk or usual feeds for babies.
✅For older babies and children give lots of small sips of water.
Most children feel better in a few days but if it lasts longer, get in touch with your GP.
