Hi all,

This is my first time posting on here so hopefully I'm in the right place I have a lonnnnggg story about my little one who I am quite worried about.

So around 3 months ago my 22 month old got a little under the weather, a bit of a runny nose, cough etc. sleeping a lotthen he got a rash all over his body I took him to the doctors 3 times the first time they said it was eczema or a skin infection and gave me cream I waited a week and it still got no better so I took him back and they said it was hand foot and mouth still no better after a week I took him back and they said he wasn't sure what it was and advised me to give piriton and it cleared up. He seemed fine for a week then back to sniffles and cough and sleeping lots too then got an ear infection. What concerns me the most is that he is tired all the time he sleeps from 7pm until 9.30am when I have to wake him up and still naps during the day for an hour or so, obviously I am reading all sorts of awful things that could be wrong!! The earliest I can get him back to the doctor is Friday. Am I worrying over nothing? :/

Thanks for reading

Jai

I don't think it is really possible to answer that here - you are sensible to go back to the doctor if you are worried though and hopefully they can help explain things to you and if necessary have any tests done to check things out. There are lots of not very scary reasons why this could be happening (post viral or food allergy for example) so try not to worry too much at this point.
