I dont have any advice my DD is haveing her MMR in a few weeks, but you can always take your DD to the out of hours GP in you lacal area. If you phone your GPS number the number for the out of hous GP should be on a message on the answer phone. If not then call NHS direct and they can refer you to your out of hours GP.

NHS direct 0845 46 47.

Hope your DD is feeling better soon.

Both my Dc were ill for days. DD didnt eat for a week. DS developed measles type rash after 10 days. But if you're worried take her to docs.X

it could be a bug, there's a lot going around at the moment and the docs is always a good place to pick things up.

Try not to worry too much, maybe try NHS direct or out of hours surgery. Is her temp very high?

i dont know cos my thermometer died this morning, but she feels very hot to me and is lathargic. ive just given her a whooping dose of ibuprofen so fingers crossed it comes down, i hate it when she is sick

I think you should probably ring the out of hours doc Natty - if she is running a high temp and lethargic it's probably best to do it and put your mind at rest. They always say not to worry about contacting the doc with a little child.
