My sons have been throwing up & having diarrhea for going on 4 days now. is this normal? i think it's a virus they're still energetic and themselves.

Virus...: A virus may last 7-10 days. As long as you keep them drinking plenty of fluids and they don't look ill they should recover fine. Make sure you have them checked if they don't get better after the week or get sicker before that period of time.
