Sickness but or something else ?

Towel1298x · Today 17:27
Yesterday my 2 and half year old complained of a 'sore head'
I didn't think much of it, she carried on playing and was fine
She then awoke during the night complaining of sore head, I gave her some calpol and she went back to sleep pretty quickly
(She has been very blocked up this week)
She has been okay today. But this evening she has complained of a sore head again, but then she was saying sore tummy. One minute she says head, then she says tummy. She does often suffer from constipation as wekk
She had now thrown up which has worried me (because of the sore head as well)
My son jas a 24hr sickness but the other day so I'm unsure if this is related or something else (I'm a terrible person for worrying)

OP I think that the obvious answer is that she now has what your DS had. Give it a few days and see if she recovers.

@FinallyMovingHouse thank you. I'm trying to tell myself that's the obvious answer, but my anxiety is horrendous at the moment so any little illness / pain really triggers me 😩

Is she ok with bright lights, what is her temp ?

@Growsomeballswoman she seems okay with bright lights, her temp is also fine.

She's just had a bath (after getting sick) and now wants to finish her food

My concern is 'headaches with sickness' is not good on Google. I know I'm best to keep of Google

If her temp is fine and she is alert don't worry, I know it's hard. I'm a victim of Dr Google especially when it comes to my children.

@Growsomeballswoman thank you! Google really is my worst enemy 😢😢 she seemed okay after eating and went to sleep straight away at bed time. I'm hoping it is jsut a sickness bug mixed with her cold that causes these worrying symptoms

I probably wouldn't have been bothered about the 'headache' or 'sickness 'had they been on there own
