So, I know this is a bad idea because I had therapy last year and promised never to come on this forum or the like again. However, I am now off my meds and my fear is back - although not as bad as before.
I just need a bit of advice. I have posted on a mums forum but the replies have been a bit nasty really and I remember how kind everyone is on here so ended up back.
I have emetophobia (fear of vomit). On Wednesday morning my son (aged 8) said he didn’t fancy any breakfast but said he felt fine.
Picked him up from school and he said he’d felt queasy all afternoon and hadn’t eaten anything and didn’t want any tea. I asked if his tummy hurt and he said only hurt on and off a tiny bit.
He was really pale and went to lay down, at 5.30pm he retched to throw up but nothing came out, he said he felt better after that. However his temperature went up to 38.6c. It was up and down like that for most of the night but he didn’t feel sick anymore and he was having drinks of water and an apple and everything stayed down.
The next day he was fine besides feeling a bit weak - his temp was normal. He wasn’t eating as normal but was eating if that makes sense.
My husband kissed him on the Wednesday night.
Can we catch this bug if there was no active vomit or anything?
It’s been 48hrs since he retched.
