Hi,
for the past 4/5 days my 1 year old daughter has gone off eating and would only take a bottle, she has now refused all bottles and all food, she has been throwing up all day, has not been wetting as many nappies, has green loose stools, and has had a temperature between 38-39.1. Every time she lays to go to sleep she is waking up dripping in sweat. All she wants to do is sleep all day, and when she is awake all she is doing is crying and seems irritable. I took her to the doctors today where I was totally dismissed within a matter of minutes with him saying 'she is just teething' however, any other time she has teethed she has not been this poorly, and he said she didn't seem dehydrated. He told me to keep giving her liquids little and often, but as I explained to him, she doesn't and won't take any liquids. She had paracetamol prior to this appointment and still had a temperature of 38.2. He also said she had a cold and would have to 'ride it out'. My instincts are telling me it's more than teething and a cold and I should be more concerned, especially when she has a past of reoccuring bronchiolitis, and I want to take her to the paediatric unit, but maybe think they will just say the same thing and I'm just over reacting as a mother.. just wondering what peoples opinions are should I go with my instinct and take her or listen to the doctor?
