DD 11, has cold, nausea, bad headache, temperature normal, acting stoned

[PhilomenaButterfly]

Why would that be?

TIA. 😁

NHS 111 might be of more use

I didn't think it was urgent, I'm just wondering what's causing it and what, if anything, to do about it.

I think the change in mental state / consciousness merits a call to 111 - sepsis can present as low temp

The change in mental state would worry me for the same reason. I'd seek medical advice.

I have to agree with Member, given that his behaviour/mental state is affected it's worth getting checked out.

Just a cold and headache wouldn't bother me but that could be a sign of something else.

Her not his obviously!

Sounds a bit like a migraine to me. My DD started getting them just before she started her periods. Hope your DD feels better soon.

Sounds like hallucinations, I also think you should call 111.

She's not hallucinating, she's just very giggly. No fever, she's got a cold, and last night and this morning she had a headache and was nauseous, that's gone now, she's had lunch and got herself a snack an hour ago.

Actually, she's still got the headache and still feels a bit sick she says.

BiggerBoat how will I know if it's a migraine? I mentioned that to DD and she says it just feels like a normal headache.

Actually the giggly thing doesn't sound like a migraine. My DD gets her words jumbled when she's got a migraine and sometimes doesn't make much sense. She's usually very sick, gets a crippling headache and needs to sleep.

I've tried googling and I'm none the wiser.

Has she had any cold medication? They make me feel really weird and speedy.

Ring 111

I used NHS 111 online, apparently it's just a cold.

She hasn't had any cold medication.

I don't see the point in ringing 111, as she's perfectly lucid, just very giggly.

My diabetic dh goes giggly when his blood sugar is low, can you give her a sugary drink just in case ?

That's a good idea nota, thanks. I should have asked diabetic DS 28. He's an expert in blood sugar. Since my post yesterday, she's had a high fibre chocolate brownie, a pizza, an Oreo doughnut and 3 Sainsbury's own brand Fruit Shoots. She'll probably go to school today, I'll give her a large glass of apple juice before she goes. That'll have to last until first break, when she might eat the fruit if it's something she likes, then lunch.

Have you checked her blood glucose level?!

I have no means of doing that at home. DS doesn't live at home.
