DD (2y 8m) started being very hot to the touch on Saturday night. This contued throughout Sunday and she spent most of the day napping on and off, and not eating. She also had a nasty rattly cough. Calpol didn't really do anything regards temperature or cough. She has also coughed up gunge a couple of times. Temperature is now down on the whole, but probaby she feels hotter to touch than normal, but not like before. Cough is still here though and sounds quite horrid. It is obvisouly bothering her as it disturbs her sleep. She is also sleeping a lot during the day (she's doesn't normally nap now) and not eating hardly anything at all. yesterdday she had lost her voice entirely. Today it is there, but croaky and very little and quiet. She is normally such a chatterbox, the house feels eeriely quiet!
Would you be tempted to take her to see the GP tomorrow morning? Or would I be wasting his time?
I have to go for me anyway and had planned to go there in the morning (drop in system) whilst DD was at nursery. But not sure if I can send her to nursery right now - will have to see how she is tomorrow for that.
