My son is 2.5 years old and I will start with saying I have some anxiety around his health since he was ill and hospitalised for a month in January last year.
Every little thing I think is worst case scenario and I have been better at managing lately so feel I need some perspective or whether to worry or not.
His diet/appetite is pretty rubbish. He's small for his age and sometimes barely eats a thing other times won't stop. Last week or so he's been asking for juice a lot more (he gets one juice very diluted and then water there after) and obviously more wet nappies (I'd say I change 6+ times during the day and always wake up to a super full nappy)
The last couple of nights he was woken once or twice and asked for juice. He's taken a sip and then demanded I leave it next to him or he doesn't go back to sleep. He also woke crying a few nights ago pulling at his nappy but there is no rash/doesn't look sore.
Yesterday I tested his urine with a dipstick test I have at home, it showed small amount of glucose but was only a small sample. I tested my own to see what the result would compare and mine was negative.
Anyway I have also tested it this morning and that one hasn't changed colour so maybe yesterday's was just a fluke.
I have been to the gp with him before since his illness, twice it was nothing and once for which we are now under dermatology for sever eczema on his face.
I suppose my question is, is this probably nothing? Am I being my usual self and worrying about nothing (which is what my mum and husband would tell me)
I find it hard to have perspective as I was turned away last year when I KNEW something was seriously wrong. I was made to feel like 'that' parent when I was right all along. But I fear this has totally skewed my judgment on seemingly minor normal toddler behaviour.
Thanks for any advice
