Concerned Mum!

Hi Ladies

Not strictly AIBU but I don't know what to do

My DD is 5 months and not very well. She's very teary and hot. She has a temp of 38.4C which hasn't gone done after 2 doses of calpol!

What do I do? She's hasn't been sick and there's no obvious illness e.g. Rash, ear pulling etc.

She's in a sleeping bag in bed now with just a long sleeve vest on underneath, no blanket. Is that too much? Too little?

I'm at a loss and feel like crying

Glad you have a plan in place OP.

Scarlet fever is going around, google the rash and see if it looks like that. My friends daughter has it and it was missed by the GP until too late to give antibiotics. I hope she's feeling better soon xx

Thank you, I don't think it's scarlet fever, DDs rash is no where near as prominent or aggressive. GP took a good look in her mouth and ears and says it's a bit sore.

Glad the Dr was nice, and you have a plan.

Dont worry if you need to go to hospital, she will be well looked after

Thank you, I feel much better now! Just hope she picks up soon!

Glad you have a good GP, get well soon little one

Hope dd is better lou x

On our way to hospital now to get DD checked by paediatrics.

Thank you everyone

Lou great, best to get her checked out. Hope all is OK.

Glad she's getting checked over, poor little lamb must be feeling grotty.

Oh bless her and you - hope it all goes okay and she's much better soon x

Hope all well and you get reassurance.x

Been sat here for over 3 hours now. A lady took DDs temp and heart rate.. Not a word since!

How is dd? Is she drinking and seeing?

*weeing

Making a baby wait 3 hours, even one who is probably ok, is just awful, i really hope she's feeling better soon and you can both get some rest.

You poor things, this has gone on and on. I hope the nurse comes back soon and your dd picks up soon. It's such a worrying, stressful time when babies are poorly and can't tell you what's wrong.

DD seems much better! Has had 3oz and then another 5oz puls wet nappies since we've been here. Still no sign of anyone! Not even a nurse!

We're giving it until 10pm and then coming home DD is really fed up and tired! She's not the only one

There's a poor baby similar age to DD who has been here since 12pm waiting! We have no hope!

Oh that's dreadful. I hope you have been seen by now or at home ticked up. You must be exhausted.
Glad that's she's been drinking and seems better.

*tucked

Lou has is it going?

How is she op?

Hi just got home! Was seen at 10:45 by consultant and then had to wait for a registrar to come and see us. DD seems much better!

Thank you all for your support!

Oh good. Bless her heart. Hope you both get a good nights rest, you must be shattered.
