Anxiety about missing serious symptoms (sepsis)

[shrimp24]

Hi,
I just need to put this in words, expect long and rambling...
I have 2 DD's 4y & 8m. My youngest has had a high temperature for the past few days and seemed to be in pain, not sleeping, so I took her to the drs yesterday and they said she had a red sore throat. Just to give calpol when needed and gave me a leaflet on signs of sepsis. I had no worries yesterday about this. After a few awful nights of sleep, last night was a little better and I felt DD was on the mend.
Today, however, she has had periods of being her usual happy fine self but also some longer than normal naps, drinking less milk, less wet nappies, mottled skin on legs, cold hands and feet and now tonight at bedtime (after calpol) a low temp of 35.5. All of the above symptoms came and went throughout the day & by the time my husband came home from work he felt she was fine; she drank her bedtime bottle, ate a bit of dinner, had a decent wet nappy, didn't feel cold and legs looked fine. So he's not worried and now fast asleep. I am now sitting here panicking that I am ignoring this 'mother's instinct' we are supposed to have!? But on the flip side telling myself to stop overreacting!
I guess I need logical thoughts. I have rechecked her temp 4 times, she has slept through it all, it has stayed the same 35.5. Sepsis stuff says anything below 36 is bad? But if I hadn't taken her temp just to check before bed I would've just thought she was fine now and getting over her sore throat as she is now sleeping so well.
If it was sepsis would things like mottled skin and less urine come and go or would it remain and get worse?
I know if I call 111 they will probably say go to out of hours GP because they wouldn't want to risk it. I, of course, don't want to risk it either however, I feel like this is more my anxiety than a real medical emergency.
But what if I'm wrong and something bad happens.... oh god, I hate this!!
So sorry for the humongous post. Not sure what I'm expecting. I always go to the worst case scenario in my head & then Google makes it worse! Does anyone else find it hard to sleep with worry about their LO's??

Yeah... thanks for all your support.

How's your baby been today? If you feel there's something not quite right, get your baby checked out by a qualified medic. Call 111 or the out of hours doctor and ask them if it could be sepsis.

Please call 111, your mind and instinct will not settle until little one has seen a doctor.

Hope baby is ok, this is the first time I have seen your post

If you suspect sepsis you go to a&e. And say that you’re worried about sepsis. I had sepsis, caught early, and when I initially saw the GP he was clear that this was an a&e thing as you need blood tests to confirm and iv antibiotics, neither of which are available at the gp. I really didn’t realise how bad I was I called 111 who told me to get off the phone and go to a&e.

Hi all, thanks I just needed to get that all out last night as I was just driving myself mad Googling symptoms. In the end I went to sleep and woke to her crying at 2am, her temp was still low then she threw up bright yellow / green bile. I called 111. After that though her temp went back up to normal and she drank a bottle and went back to sleep! I got called back by a nurse and then a Dr at 4.30am and after going through the whole thing they said just to keep an eye on her. She slept through until 6.45am and woke up happy and so much better than she has been for the past few days!! So strange. I'm still keeping an eye on her but feeling much less worry tonight! Sepsis is just awful, I really scared myself reading all the stories last night.

Happy to hear she's ok

Wow this has been ongoing for days now with symptoms coming and going. Never all at the same time but all making an appearance! Today she came out in a rash all over her abdomen and back and started making weird grunting noises. She's still not got an appetite, the gland in the back of her neck is up and the soft spot on her head seemed sunken. Temperature normal, fine in herself, but still after the few days we have had I decided not to take any chances and took her to the GP. He thoroughly checked her over and believes it to be a viral rash and wasn't too concerned about anything else. Just have to try to keep giving her milk as often as possible and keep an eye on her. He just thinks she is getting over a virus. I'm so glad I went though to put my mind at rest or I would have another night of worry! Now at least I know he has checked her breathing / heart rate etc.
Just thought I would post in case anyone comes across this when searching similar symptoms. Good to know others experiences, especially when it turns out ok.
