DD vomiting bug - A&E?

[HighlandCow78]

DD (19) has had really severe diarrhoea and vomiting for the past 24 hours. Can’t keep anything down whatsoever, at this point I don’t know how she even has any fluid in her tummy to vomit - we’ve tried small sips of electrolytes but 10 mins later they come straight back up again. She’s feeling awful - really weak + dehydrated.

Also has a very high temp of 39.5 degrees, again she can’t keep any paracetamol/ibuprofen down to make her more comfortable

AIBU to take her to A&E? Please be kind - I’ve never seen her so ill before and don’t know what to do. I’m concerned that she’s going to end up needing IV fluids as she isn’t peeing and she’s desperately thirsty

Yes you can. People are too passive in this country and scared to advocate for themselves when they know they are seriously ill. This is a huge contributing factor as to why so many children and adults die at home or in waiting rooms when they should have been rushed to hospital.

i had food poisoning when pregnant and was taken in immediately because a) they don’t want you around others b) they understood how dangerous it is. So they put me on a drip immediately.

people please stop with this martyr mentality it’s ridiculous.

Its not a martyr mentality but you cannot walk into an A&E and demand IV fluids , that is not how it works and I say that as someone who worked for 30+ years as an NHS nurse . They may well have assessed your condition and gone for that course of action but it’s very unlikely they would if you went in as a normal , not pregnant 19 yr old with D&V for less than 24 hours .
