DD1 is 7, she had brochilitus (sp?) when she ws 3 months old and has been ill ever since! When she was about 2.5 had loads of tests done for her immunity, and cf etc. All came back fine, but now in France and she is 7now, and though seems to catch about the same amount of coughs and colds as ds2 who also had brochilitus as a baby, she just looks ill all the time, with pale sallow greyish skin, and dark hollow eyes. If I take her to the docs how can I explain that I just think she is not well?
Has been commented on at school that she was tired and sad, and not very willing to get involved, but I put this down to our house burning down a year ago, and us living in a mobile home. (All 6 of us - nightmare) Just moved back into house before Xmas, so I feel she should be happier and healthier than she looks. She is by far the best eater out of all my kids and eats the most veg and fruit etc.
Does she just need a vitamin or could there be more going on here? I am not a silly over paranoid mum, but I do trust my instincts.
