A member asked:

My 5yr old has had a tummy bug twice in one month and is showing signs again such as dry heaving and tummy pain she is not in daycare.should isee a dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doc visit: three separate episodes of a "stomach bug" in a short period of time, should warrant at least an evaluation by the pediatrician. Give your PCP a call to schedule an appointment.
