I don't really have a clue what to do next.
I am speaking to our GP in the morning again. Im just looking for anyone who's maybe had a similar experience or can give advice.
So DD is 17 months.
She is generally well and no underlying health issues.
Tuesday last week she seemed a bit under the weather, not herself, bit of a runny nose.
Wednesday was similar and she was really off her food, not drinking much water or juice and generally cranky. She had a 3 hour nap this day which is unusual for her.
Thursday she worsened to the point of constant crying day and night, and refusing anything to her mouth, even medicine. She was sick a couple of times during the day and when crying I noticed her throat was very red looking. She went around 12-14 hours with a totally dry nappy. Around 10pm Thursday night she woke and vomited around 5 times in 20 minutes. She was really unwell seeming so we phoned out of hours.
They advised they wanted to see her mainly due to her age and dry nappies.
We went to that appointment and they did all the usual obs, ear chest throat etc. her throat a little red but no swelling, everything else perfect. Her blood sugar was low at 3.6 so they gave her a sugary drink to try and increase this and also get her passing urine. She drank this well and she was let home but she still hadn't passed urine. They put a bag on her to collect a sample in case we had to go back but it wasn't ever tested.
Friday was much of the same, vomiting and not being happy/settled and crying a lot. We gave her sugary drink as advised and gave her 2.5ml syringe of fluids every 10 minutes throughout the day.
Saturday, Sunday most of the same but not vomiting as often. Hardly eating but drinking enough. Vomiting after a few nibbles of dinner. Eating breakfast fine (weetabix or toast)
Monday she seems more herself, eating more, less crying, happier.
Tuesday same.
Today she is back to crying alot, vomiting and now has developed a cough too. Still runny nose etc. she hasn't been very steady on her feet today either.
Couple of things to add.. she has had no raised temperature during this time at all.
Its not covid.
When she is vomiting she is first just opening her mouth really wide and then out it comes, like she is gagging on something.
Obviously she is too young to tell us if her tummy hurts or head or anything.
Any ideas what this could be or what's causing it to last so long?
I will see what GP says tomorrow but they just said viral before. Its now over a week and she's getting worse not better.
She is still napping ok-ish and sleeping alright at night, taking longer to settle but generally sleeping ok. The first few nights she was vomiting during the night too but this has settled and we're down to about twice a day.
Any advice appreciated
