DD 9 has not been well for the last 24 hours. She went to school yesterday, the school called me at lunch time to tell me she was ill but didn't want to come home so I picked her up at normal time, however she's worse today and won't be going in.
Her symptoms are feeling sick but no actually d or v, being hot and cold and looking alternately flushed or pasty but although warmer than normal her temperature isn't especially high, stomach ache that's worse on the lower left side but not excruciating and general listlessness. I know all these could point towards appendicitis, but could also just be a minor bug.
I don't want to waste the GPs time with a self limiting virus, but I am a bit worried about the possibility of it being her appendix playing up. So wise mumsnetters, what would you do?
