Anyone up? So worried about DD

[worriedmama202]

Currently on hold to 111 but I'm so worried. DD who is 3 has had a temp since Christmas Eve, it's been up and down ranging between 38.6 and 39.7 but it's currently at 40.7 and I can't get it down. She's snotty and complaining of a sore head and is now bringing everything including calpol/nurofen back up, the last lot she brought up was clear with what looks like specks of blood in it.
Has anyone had similar and what was it?
I know there's some horrible bugs going around at the moment so it could just be that but the fact I can't get her temperature down and what looks like blood now in her sick is really worrying me.

Can you feel her tonsils? Mine used to get fevers like that with tonsilitis.

Make sure she's not wearing much, put a fan on in the room but not blowing on her, and use a cold flannel on her forehead.

Hope she's feeling better soon.

Hi, I'm a Dr. Sorry to read this and based on the information you've given please don't wait for 111, you're delaying a clinical review. Take your daughter to A&E, her temperature isn't going to come down if she's not keeping meds down and she requires further assessment.

Agree with last poster she needs to go to a&e

Nurse here .. I agree

AE , don't panic , drive carefully but she needs some IV paracetamol and fluids

Hope she is better soon and you can relax ❤️

Take her to A&E asap x

I agree with the previous posters. Take her to a&e. Don't hesitate. Take a damp facecloth with you and keep dabbing her face / back of neck etc.

A&,E now

Sending love op. Best go A&E better to be safe than sorry xx

Thanks for all of your advice, just packing a bag then heading to a&e. She's came down to 40.3 in the last hour but it's not enough.

Glad you are on your way.
I hope she is better very soon.

No advice. Just a handhold. Please update us when you are able. 💕🌹

Good luck. Hospital will help get her sorted.

i hope she’s better soon OP

Just to repeat that A&E is best right now. Hope you get to the bottom of things soon.

My son had been spiking high temps the last few days and was diagnosed with tonsillitis.

We took him to a&e Christmas eve evening and were seen and treated in a few hours - hopefully the same for you.

Hope your daughter is doing better :)

Hopefully you’re not having to wait too long on a&e

I hope your seen quickly! Sending a hand hold

Gosh sounds awful I hope you get seen soon

Sending a handhold from nz. I hope you’re seen quickly at a&e and that dd is on the mend soon xxx

Hi. My daughter had this exact symptom last week, although she's 8. We went to A&E (as you have rightly done, too) after 111 GP advised it (I was going anyway). My main concern was the blood in vomit, but when we got to A&E they weren't too concerned. In our case, they believe it to be stomach irritation from the flu & possibly ibuprofen on an empty stomach trying to get her hellish temps down!!
Hopefully it will be the same for your LO. You are totally right to get checked, I just hope and pray it is quieter and you're not waiting as long as we were (10 hours) x

If she’s not keeping anything down you need to go to A&E. Hopefully you’re there by now and being seen. Let us know how you go 🤞🏻

Good luck op

Good luck!

I hope A&E won’t be too busy and your dd is better soon.

Hope all’s okay
