Halen's been violently sick?


He was violently sick this afternoon about 1oclock, he went all floppy and all this sick kept coming out, so fast he couldn't breath and was going all red and spluttering. He was fine immediately afterwards, so I didn't think a lot of it as he has been diagnosed with reflux and I'd forgot to give him his gaviscon after his feed.

He's fed twice since then and was fine, then had a nap a bit later than usual at 5pm, woke up at half 7, had a bath and into jammies, then I fed him. Well this time I put him on my shoulder to wind, whilst OH got his gaviscon and he was violently sick again, all over me, the settee and himself. It was just like this afternoon, going all floppy and spluttering to breath it came out so fast. This happened about 8pm and it's been an hour and he's not been sick again, he seems ok just a bit tired (it is past his bedtime though)

I don't know whether to ring NHS Direct? I don't want to to get sent down to A&E with him (worse case senerio) with all the drunks on a saturday night to find out nothing is wrong with him? But then I don't want to leave it and something godforbid is wrong?

I rang them and they said all the nurses are busy but someone will ring me back within 45mins, if anything happens before they've rang me, to ring them.
sublime_ivy - my sister has had it but she's been no where near him since although she wouldn't be the only person who he's been into contact with that could have it.
