Is Recurring Nausea When Having Stomach Infection A Cause For Concern?

Our family has had several stomach bugs since Thanksgiving when my cousin threw up in the kitchen! Three of our kids got that one. My nine year old stayed home from school for two days and then was fine. Then another flu bug went around school he didn t catch it but was afraid he would. He has been complaining of on again/off again nausea for the last week or so. He is eating and playing but once or twice every day he says his stomach hurts. Two of our other kids have felt the same way the last few days. Should I take them to the doc?
