I am stumped.

[IAmReallyFabNow]

DD is on day 13 of 14 for antibiotics for sinisitus. She has been complaining all day of feeling dizzy. DH and I have flu and assumed it was to do with that but now I am worried.

On top of antibiotics?

sorry, thanks for answering.

She is saying now she feels sick and her head really hurts.

she says her eyes are blurry when she thinks about things too much.

Sounds like she has flu.
Dizziness, headache, nausea, classic symptoms of flu.
Or possibly she has some goo in her ears that are knocking her off balance (that could account for the dizziness and nausea).

What do I do?

Does she have a fever? could it be an inner ear disturbance?

Ring OOH GP if your concerned.

Could be the wrong antibiotics for the type of infection?

I suffer from Labyrinthitis and can be often dizzy/nauseas

If she was mine I'd probably put her to bed with some calpol (keeping an eye on her temp) and tell her not to think about things if it makes her eyes blurry.

Chances are some sleep and lots of liquids will help.

Or is there some reason why you are particularly worried about this?

she felt cool, temp was 37.

the antibiotics were given by the hospital.

How old is she?

If your worried try NHS direct, what is it that worries you?

Make sure shes drinking lots.

Have given calpol and put her to bed. She is 7.

I am worried as I am not a good mum and think I might miss something serious or important. I am also not well myself.

Sounds like our doing fine, its always hard when your ill yourself, sounds likely to be flu.

Keep an eye on her overnight, if she gets worse ring GP, see how she is in the morning and if needed see GP then.

Honestly it sounds like your doing all you can.

I haven't got any olbas oil. I might have karvol, will that work?

Really you sound like you are doing fine - don't be hard on yourself.

The things you've listed sound like flu or dodgy ears (and so I'd probably wait until morning and see how she is), but as you are worried why don't you call NHS Direct? I have found them very helpful when it comes to my children.

It'll be ok.

No, don't give Medised as you've already given Calpol (too much paracetomol).

Carvol a good idea.

just rubbed karvol on her chest. she said it smelled horrible.

Can you get olbas oil in Boots and is it a natural product rather than medication?

Okay, thank you.

How is she today?

She complained of feeling dizzy while we were out but managed to eat an ice lolly so I am less worried. Thanks for asking. I will keep an eye on her though.
