Skin yellow this morning ???

[Foreverhopeful22]

My 2 year old suddenly this morning looks very yellow.

First I thought jaundice but she has none of the symptoms apart from a yellow tinge

She has said for last few days tummy hurt. But then goes off running around.

She is a terrible eater but omg this morning I can't keep up scrambled eggs slice of toast, two biscuits, 1 apple 1 pear and now having a cinnamon roll.

I don't know if I should be concerned

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Yes, a GP appt is in order of she's yellow!

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

**if

[MrsOverTheRoad]

Doctor immediately!

[Shockers]

Absolutely! Phone your GP!

[Foreverhopeful22]

Just phoned and no appointments until morning .

We are going to see dietician this afternoon maybe she will be able to have a look

[MrsOverTheRoad]

Are her eyes yellow?

[Foreverhopeful22]

No not at all

Stools are Dark and normal (always dark as dairy free)

Wee normal

Just a yellow tinge

[Daffodils07]

Does she eat a lot of fruit and veg? My youngest was like this due to foods it was called carotenemia.
Would still see gp just to rule out anything more worrying.

[Lukeandlorelai4Ever]

Did you say to receptionist that she was yellow?

[Shockers]

Do you have new bedding or towels... anything which could've rubbed off on her?

[Foreverhopeful22]

She has been eating carrots, broccoli and cauliflower a small bowl with dinner so once a day.

No new towels or clothes

I spoke to receptionist and she said that no appointments I said she was yellowish and she said other than a walk in centre then I'd have to wait till morning .

[missyB1]

Where are you seeing the dietician? Any chance they will be able to get a Doctor to see her? She may need blood tests.

[3luckystars]

I would get her seen by a doctor immediately.

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Has she been drinking a lot of Sunny D?

If you have a walk in centre I would go there and wait.

[Wolfiefan]

Walk in. I wouldn't want to wait.

[IdoHaveAName]

That's concerning especially since she has been complaining of tummy ache. Good luck at the GP.

[Baalam]

That's shocking that they are not seeing her sooner.

And yet we are not allowed to criticise the NHS

[Foreverhopeful22]

The dietician appointment is at the hospital.

So I'm hoping if she thinks she looks yellowish she can get someone to look at her.

[mrsRosaPimento]

Poo and wee do change colour but I think the jaundice is really obvious when that happens. I had a rare reaction to medication and got jaundice. I was this colour all over. What colour is the skin under her nails? Whites of eyes go really yellow, before skin I think. Insist on an emergency appointment at the doctors. How is she in herself? I felt absolutely awful. Is she itchy?

[Foreverhopeful22]

Mrsrosa - fine in herself and I mean running around like a loon, on trampoline and all smiles apart from once today saying tummy hurt - then two seconds later trying to hop

Eyes fine
Nails fine

Huge appetite which is strange

[Foreverhopeful22]

She is very underweight and has diet issues hence dietician and hence I say huge appetite especially today

[IamDBCooper]

My ds1 had a yellow tinge and we took him to gp who diagnosed too much red/orange food like carrots etc. We were also sent to a pead just to confirm which she did. I think it's worth a trip to the walk in though.

[gamerchick]

If she's eating carrots every day then I'll put my money on it being the culperate.

[3luckystars]

I wouldn't take any chances and would get her seen today, no matter what.

[mrsRosaPimento]

That all sounds positive. I think it's worth mentioning. I hope it goes well at your appointment this afternoon.
