My 11 months old DD has been v unwell for the past 7/8 days. We’ve been to urgent care twice and to the gp. On each visit they initially had some concerns with her fever, rapid breathing and oxygen levels but after observations the doctors said she is just fighting an infection or virus. She’s almost at the end of a five day course of antibiotics but still seems very much the same. She’s still getting fevers after 8 days, they seems to be coming less frequently now but still there nevertheless; maybe every 8-10 hours? She has blood in her snot, is v lethargic and sleeps maybe every half an hour. But then sometimes we get bouts of energy, where she is active and will eat and drink milk as normal and think we’re turning a corner.
The doctors admittedly were unable to tell if it was viral or bacterial so the antibiotics were prescribed just to cover anything developing into a bacterial infection.
Should I be worried or is this a normal amount of time to be fighting off an illness. My DS1 was very ill at the same age but I seem to remember him bouncing back after 3/4 days. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms?
