DD has had a cold/runny nose for a couple of weeks and is showing all the usual signs of teething (she already has 8 teeth, so we're used to the teething cold). She's normally very good & we've never had a lot of problems with her vomit-wise, so today is totally out of character for her.
She woke us up at 6.30am today (she cosleeps & is still BFing during the night) by throwing up in bed - lots of mucus present. After clearing that lot, she was all bouncy in bed while we tried to settle her back down, then threw up again (on my head! ). Decided to bring her downstairs to see if she wanted to play, then by 7.20am was back asleep with me on sofa. She woke up at 9am and found that she'd had a fairly runny poo (they've normally been quite solid recently, but she's had 2 runny ones in 2 weeks with her childminder). Had another round of clear mucusy vomit around 10.30-11ish before going out.
DD had 3-4 rice cakes & a fair amount of water while out, but wasn't interested in any other food and started being quite upset in the car. We came home at 2.45pm (was going to do shopping before going home, but decided to bring her home for a BF because she was uposet & refusing other food), and she was sick again(lots of mucus again) at 3.15pm before settling down for a nap (she'd only had about 20 minutes of sleep since 9am).
She woke up at 4.30pm and was instantly sick (BM & mucus). Shortly after, she produced 2 very runny/mucusy & VERY smelly nappies in the space of 20 minutes. Quite reasonably, she's being very clingy, a bit "soggy" as DP puts it (not floppy, but worn out/not pulling herself up like she normally does), and doesn't want to be put down to play. Have just settled her down at 5.45ish for another feed and after another little mucusy vomit, she's gone to sleep again.
Should I be all panicky & calling the OOH service, or should we just carry on as we are at the moment offering her cooled, boiled water & BM as she wants it unless there's a change for the worse?
Thanks for any advice.
