My three year old was poorly the day before Xmas eve, was sick and had a temperature.
Xmas eve took her to the docs as she was complaining of a very sore neck, they suspected tonsillitis but said they wouldn't give anti biotics because no white coating yet, but her glands were very enlarged. Told us to use a paracetomol type medicine as well as ibrupofen, both prescribed, so gave to dd as needed.
Today she has been terribly upset, has had a temp, has slept most of the day. HAsn't eaten anything, I've been forcing drink down her where possible. She still says her neck hurts (I think its her throat / glands) but what is worrying me is that she has not done a wee since this morning.
She's asleep now, got her nappy on and no wee yet.
How worried should I be about that? I've been getting her to drink as much as possible but it has been difficult.
