to take baby to hospital

[Cherrybalm]

hi,

my 9 month old has been refusing fluids since last night, has a temperature over 38 degrees and is very pale :(

I have tried to give her calpol but she wont take it. cant get through to 111. does this warrant an a and e trip? I'm really quite concerned about her

I would go. It's better to be safe than sorry.

it's the fluid refusal and paleness that has concerned me. going to go now

Definitely go now. Don’t question it.

I hope she’s ok

Glad you're going. Hope all is ok.

If you are that concerned then yes, do. When you say you can’t get through to 111 what’s happening?are they not answering?

no,I was in a que for ages. we have been seen now, very high temperature poor thing :(

Hope she is ok

Hope she is ok?

How is she @Cherrybalm? Did she get any fluids.?

she had a very high temp of over 38 which was concerning, it took a few attempts to get her to take any medicine. she eventually accepted a little bit of water, apparently her throat is very red and swollen. waiting for her temperature and pulse to go down now. not very pleasant

Oh bless her. You did the right thing op, always err on the side of caution with littlies.

Fingers crossed she perks up ASAP.

Poor thing. I always say follow your gut instinct. Definitely did the right thing taking her in.

Sending hugs!
