...why does DD keep saying her tummy hurts?
Can anyone please explain this to me? Doc said that the glands in the stomach can be sore with a virus as severe as the one DD has - is this a common thing? DD is 2.6 and has had her fair share of colds/ear infects /toncilitis etc but I have never had a sore tummy?
Aghhhhhhhhh. What a day. She was up from 1am last night with this tummy pain and high temps. Then rallied wonderfully this morning, went to the GP who gave her a totally clean bill of health other than a viral resp tract infection which was apparently nothing to worry about and we should just carry on as normal. So, she was very bouncy and wanted to go to the nursery so she went. Clean bill of health and all!
An hour later she had a temp of almost 40, shaking uncontrollably, crying screaming about her tummy. My DD does not often complain and she was very ill so we went to A&E on the advice of NHS direct.
VVVVVV nice at the hospital, put her on the ward to see a paed consol who said viral chest/lung with sore ears and throat and tummy but nothing to be done other than pain killers as not bacterial.
So, she is now in bed, hot still even though we have given calpol and nurofen as instructed.
Any ideas please? She has not been the same since the chicken pox 6 weeks ago and I have been giving vitamins and probiotics. She also gets constipated and witholds so this I imagine is not helping.
Apologies, tired and stressed and fed up and feeling rather sorry for oneself.
