what do I do.... DD1 is complaining her bits hurt

[Yorkiegirl]

She is 4 and is lying on the bed screaming and saying her bits are 'dribbling'. There is nothing I can see.
Should I ring the doc?

UTI?Take her to the doctors .Does she have any other symptoms?

I would, it may be an infection in the urinary tract (not difficult to treat though)

Not sure about the "dribbling".

Have you tried NHS direct?

It could be worms. Very itchy and worse at nights. Is your GP surgery still open? See if you can speak to a nurse or try NHS direct.

she was really ill last week with bronchitis, tonsilitis and conjunctivitis
Since then she has been really really tired. She took herself off for a sleep this afternoon which she hasn't done since she was 2

I can't see any worms

has she had antibiotics for her illnesses? if so, could be thrush. get some probiotic yoghurt down her...

there is no evidence of thrush and she says it isnt itching but 'dribbling'

Cystitis type infections can give weird sensations like that

should I ring the docs then?

i would. thrush isn't always white discharge

Yorkiewhile you are waiting for an appointment, you can give her an oatmeal bath to soothe her. If you have Aveeno Oatmeal bath, that is great. I believe that Twig mentioned that you could put oatmeal into a stocking and run the bath faucet over it while you are filling the bath if you don't have Aveeno. I would take her to the doctors as soon as you can thoughespecially if she never complains. If she has been on antibiotics it could be a yeast infection, but the doctor will know best.

and what is it you drink to ease cystitis / uti? Lemon Barley water? cranberry? Bicarb?

cranberry

she has gone to sleep now. Will ring the docs in the morning unless she is up in the night.

I hope she sleeps through for you Yorkie. It might hurt more when she has to pee. Hope you can get into the doctors for tomorrow then.
