DD2 is unwell. On antibiotics since yesterday am for suspected UTI following seeing Dr about her sore patch on her bot, I was not convinced, but knew there was an infection. Awaiting urine test results. She had been fine, no temp, her usual self, just sore bot only bothering her at nappy changes or following a wee.
Today she had a low grade temp on waking, and has been a little swine all day. She had a nap about 4pm, and was clingy and tearful on waking, which she can be sometimes. Temp a bit higher, so we decided to give her some meds with her tea. She did not eat much, but enough to get meds down her. Threw up tea and fluids at 8pm. Lunch had passed through. Temp spiked when vomiting, but has since gone down to normal. A side effect of Trimethoprim can be high temp and mouth ulcers, which can be very serious. Tiny sore patch on tongue, and temp no higher that 38.1, and normal now so not overly concerned. Her breathing is good and steady.
She did look rather listless after vomiting, but managed a smile before falling asleep. Has had diarrhoea, so back in disposables (I am not stupid!) and this will make it easier to monitor output. I will call NHS24 overnight if she is worse, and deffo in the morning to see if she should continue to have antibiotics.
This parenting lark can be bloody hard work sometimes.
