DD is 2.7. She has had vomiting since Sunday. She had diarrhoea yesterday, and probably would still have it if she had eaten anything, there is certainly "leakage" from that area from time to time (sorry if TMI). She cannot keep down anything neither food nor drink, although will often sleep after drinking, then wake after 45 minutes to throw up, so she is absorbing something.
She was seen by a doctor yesterday and again today. She is not dehydrated according to the professionals, and has passed urine three times today, it is bright yellow, but not orange like it was yesterday so she must be doing ok.
Her skin is fully elastic, her hands/feet do not feel cold, she has saliva and (some) tears. The blood returns to fingers/toes immediately if you squeeze them.
However today she has been awake for about 4 out of 24 hours, with occasionaly other wakings to vomit/wee etc. She has tried o eat, which made her brighter for about 30 minutes, and made me think she was recovering a bit. But then she vomited it all again and went back to sleep
She barely speaks, she just cries and nods or shakes her head when I ask her something. Sometimes she doesn't even bother answering. Her eyes also seem slightly sunken and have bags around them (dark bags).
the doctor said no to worry unless she becomes more listless, but we are talking about a 2 year old who never sits still or stops talking, so how much more unresponsive can you get?
If she hadn't perked up for a while this afternoon I would have taken her to A&E for another assessment.
I trust the doctors, but admit to worrying in case they have missed something. Is she just lethargic because she has no energy going in? or would you be worried?
WWYD?
