To ask for help :(

[whatdoido33]

Hi all

FTM to my 4 month old DD. I think she's teething as had a temp all day, not too high but high enough and shes very irritable.

I've just taken her pj bottoms off and her legs are red.

She was born 8 weeks early, bleed on brain when 3 days old and now has a condition called hydrocephalus. She has VP shunt and spent her first 13 weeks in hospital.

AIBU to take her to get checked over tonight? With her condition we have a passport to A&E, however I don't want to go if this is normal? She's usually a really calm, happy, non-needy baby and being irritable is a sign of shunt malfunction?

Thanks :(

Always trust your instincts. Drs would rather see 100 healthy babies than miss the one who’s parents didn’t know if they should take their child in. No one will be annoyed with you

Hope all is OK op. In case anyone else is reading this whole 111 doesn't bump you up for a & e they can book you in to see the gp in the hospital who can book you straight into the ward if needed so it is sometimes worth doing if you're not sure if you need A&E but are going in anyway.

Hi everyone

Thanks for everyone's messages, she's just got a little bug nothing they can do apart from calpol and cuddles!

Thankfully it's nothing serious xx
