Bring my daughter to A&E

She has had vomiting and diarrhoea, started yesterday, and has been lethargic since Tuesday. Has gone rapidly downhill today. Has a temperature that is causing hallucinations, has had all the medicine she can have plus all the usual treatment for temperatures. Is incredibly irritable and wont let us touch her. There have been bugs about the house but from history with my other DD it seems like a kidney infection. Phoned out of hours at 6 and still haven't heard back from doctor. She is getting rapidly worse. Aibu bringing her to A&E? In northern Ireland so we have no drop ins here and no 111 service

Just wanted to say I hope she gets seen quickly and all is OK.

Hope she’s ok x

Seems to me that those who need to attend A+E don't, and those who do not need A+E do.

Trust your instincts and go. Staff will know. Best of luck.

Hope your little one is ok.

lowlandLucky · 26/12/2019 21:05

GO right now

Hoping that you are already there by now, wishing your little one a speedy recovery

I hope you've taken her, those are worrying symptoms

Hope she's ok, sounds worrying

Children's at RVH is fantastic. Take her down if you're anywhere near. Poor wee love. Hope she's OK.

Our hospital is amazing with little ones, they are seen very quickly. Am glad you have gone to the hospital. Hopefully she will pick up quickly.

ClinkyMonkey · 26/12/2019 21:14

Didn't notice you had already decided to go. Hope all is well.

StudentHelp · 26/12/2019 21:16

Thinking of you all OP

McCanne · 26/12/2019 21:19

Hope everything is ok OP xx

itgetshardereveryday · 26/12/2019 21:22

Yes, definitely take her. She sounds very poorly and is a tiny child. Please don't worry about 'wasting' their time or anything like that.
Thanks

Nogodsnomasters · 26/12/2019 21:34

Hope you get seen soon and she's OK.
