Hi Mums!

I'm in some desperate need of some advice! My 2 year old first got ill in January of this year with cough/cold, which turned into tonsillitis. After a hospital visit, vomiting episodes, weeks long of high temps not even paracetamol can bring down, 4 lots of antibiotics later were in the same place. It's been 4 months and only a couple of days she's been well in that time.

She gets rash's on her cheeks which coke and go, her hands, feet and lips will turn blue but return to normal. She dropped 4lbs in 1 week which she is slowing gaining back. She cries in pain in her sleep nearly every night. BPM can sometimes be 180+

GP's have told us it's just a viral infection and will go away with time, we've waited and treated everything as it comes but never seems to leave. Has anybody had this before? If so can you maybe shed some light on it all.

We're thinking of getting her booked in for some further tests and going against what doctors are saying. I can't help but think there's something more to it!

Thank you in advance x

Unfortunately I don't have any answers, but I am in the same position!
My DC are 3 and 17months. Both going through same thing, tonsilitis, chest infection, cough, repeat. Been going on since october. One gets it then a few days later the other does. Then press repeat!
Eldest has had a blood test and all it has shown is low iron so prescription for that, and I'm struggling to get a referral to ENT from the GP to look at having tonsils removed.
I wish I could help in some way but afraid I'm just going through the same!
