Hi my 2 year old son has been unwell for a while reoccurring temps, crying in pain and laying around. I went through 111 yesterday evening sent us to a&e was sent home told it was viral. Child hasn’t eaten in 3 days and refusing all liquids for the last 28 hours just syringe a couple times but was an absolute fight to do so, went to urgent care this morning sent home again saying it’s viral. He hasn’t moved off the sofa or spoken all day, he’s dribbling his saliva or holding it in and refusing to swallow half the time. I just cannot get fluids into him he’s a had a couple wet nappies but nothing major or normal for us. What do I do! Something is telling me there’s more going on.

Will he eat ice pops? The real sugary ones. Got us through hand foot and mouth here.

You did know best. Good for you for persisting. I'm glad your LO is getting the care he needs now. Big hugs to you both. 💐

Hope things improve and he gets better soon. It's horrible seeing a toddler so unwell - glad you listened to your instincts.
