Sorry this is long!
My 3 year old seems to get ill at least once a month. She almost always has a fever and a vomit, mostly with a cough/ cold. Other times has had a pimple like rash down one side of her. It lasts a couple of days and then shes well again.
She has also always had unusual bowels. She was put on movicol a year ago due to some blood in her stools which the gp thought was due to constipation. She does go from constipated to normal often but we managed to wean off the movicol and she’s been ok. 5 days ago she had a one off vomit and a temp of 38c (3rd time since December). She was then fine for a couple days and then started to have clay coloured stools, started normal consistency and then had an accident in her knickers which looked like discharge consistency and colour but was definitely poo. Then woke in the night and stools were water consistency but a creamy colour. She was ok in herself except she looked pale. no temperature. This lasted a day and then shes back to normal,
is this normal? Doctor said the stools was norovirus, despite noone else having it and not being at preschool since before Christmas and it only lasting a day. they say the constant fevers are viral illnesses from preschool.
does this sound right? She seems to be unwell a lot. Im worried she has something else going on.
she also was born with her stomach muscles separated and had an umbilical granuloma if any of that is relevant?
I just feel like shes always got something going on.
in the summer she kept waking with pain in her left leg and walking funny. My gp kept saying it was nothing and said she believed my daughter was “mimicking someone”. in the end it turned out she had femoral anteversion and hypermobility so i haven’t got much faith in my gp at the moment.
anyone else been through this?
