For the last couple of weeks DD has been increasingly refusing meals, especially in the evening. Just saying "no" & getting upset to the point she retches. She has had a couple of bugs - a cold, then a D&V thing in the space of a month. However these seem mostly to have settled now. She's a normal temperature & fairly lively (given the low food & water intake & very poor sleep). Has been off nursery most of last week due to the D&V.
DH & I have been up with her for several hours every night for the last month. He has had both the bugs as well so not quite fighting fit, I recently had an early MC. We're shattered & not really coping.
Over the last couple of days, DD has started refusing almost all drinks. She is now hoarse, I suspect due to this, & is extremely subdued. However if we try to get her to drink, she retches & usually vomits whatever she has managed to swallow.
Is this par for the course for a toddler after a D&V episode, normal for her age, should we get her seen by a doctor? They were quite dismissive last time I took her to see them, I'm wary of coming over too PFB.
