3 year old very ill and keeps sleeping

[amy1008]

DD is having a high fever since Saturday. There was no other symptoms on Saturday, just 40C and a bit upset. Vomited once on Sunday, about 10 times on Monday. We saw an emergency gp on Sunday and went to a&e on Monday. They had her urine and blood sugar tested. No obvious reason, and the vomit kind of stopped. Her temputure is kepted at 38 after carpol. They presumed it was viruses infection. So we were sent home.

The thing is, she refuses to eat or drink anything. All she dose since Sunday night is sleeping. I literally have to force her to drink. Managed to get about 400ml juice and water in. Vomited once. She had been awake for less than 1 hour today. Nothing could draw her attention. No crying, just sleep.

Should I take her back to hospital, or let her rest at home? She is not getting worse, only very difficult to wake. She used to be so energetic even when she was very ill and with a fever. I'm really worried now.

She is admitted to hospital. Definitely trust your instinct.

Is she ok??

Yes yes mums instinct all the way.

Oh bless her.
Hope they get to the bottom of it soon.

Glad they are finally taking you seriously and she is getting better

Oh dear poor little one, hope they find out exactly what it is and she has quick recovery

How is she OP?

Severe infection. Reason unknown. They put her to sleep for now. She is going through a lot.

Good that she is there, she is in the best place. I hope she gets better soon. Any child that can’t hold fluids down for more than 24 hours needs urgent medical attention

Ffs op what a nightmare - no words other than wishing your daughter a speedy recovery - and thank the Lord she has a mom like you ! X

Well done for trusting your instincts. Hope your daughter makes a quick recovery x

Well done to you for preservering, I hope your little one improves soon and you get some much needed rest. If she has another time when ill and doesn’t drink try ice lollies especially good for the throat.

Ask them specifically - have you considered if she could have sepsis?

Poor little darling. Good job you trusted instinct OP

Well done OP, hope she recovers quickly. Thank goodness you trusted your instincts.

Hope she feels better very soon OP.

Make sure they my motor get BP and heart - sepsis is horribly common x

Just RTT I hope she gets better OP
💐....so glad you went with gut instinct...👍...Once LO gets better bless her...Put a formal complaint in as the way they have treated her is absolutely disgusting!!!

Get well soon LO...🐻

P.S keep us posted 🤞

I hope she's feeling better soon op, you must be worried sick x

@amy1008 - by put her to sleep do you mean they've intubated and ventilated her?

If so, I hope you are doing ok

What do you mean by putting her to sleep? Sending you the biggest hugs for you and LO 🐭

Wishing her a speedy recovery. God job you trusted your instincts op and kept taking her back xx

I assume they have put her in a medically induced coma if so its a serious infection they hav missed

Glad you insisted. Hope she feels better soon.

Poor little bobbin

Yes they've intubated her. No ventilation through.

We asked about sepsis. They don't think it is. But she is on antibiotics anyway.
