i know at 4pm that dd2 wasnt feeling well....

[misdee]

she didnt have any symptoms of anything, but now she is burning up. her pupils seem very big (the black bit), and she is dopey as well now.

Have you called the Dr? Sounds like a combination you need to get checked out.

how old?

Normally I would just say dose her up with Calpol and see how she goes through the night, ditto with dopeyness as a high temp can make them that way. But the pupils thing sounds odd. I'd phone NHS direct initially.

whats nhs number again?

she 3.5yrs old.

0845 4647

she is saying her eyes hurt

Is there any possibility that she has got hold of any medecines?

NHS Direct do a \link{http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/selfhelpguide/\selfhelpguide}

no chance of her getting hold of medicines.

have acalled NHS direct, they are calling back within an hour.

she is now more responsive after having neurofen.

H0ow old is she Misdee?

The first things I spring to mind are plenty of fluids and Calpol for temperature. Have you taken her temperature?
It's getting late so maybe a good night's sleep would help? Maybe see how she is in the morning before contacting dr?
Obviously you are mum and you are there. Follow your instincts.
Hope she feels better soon.

Don't know about your area but we have a LOT of chickenpox going on through dds schools at the moment. Sometimes this can start off with temperature and feeling unwell. Any chance she may have been in contact with this?

The fact that they didnt stick you straight on to a nurse and that they are calling back is good I suppose. Try not to worry too much. Its a pain when they are tired though.

she has already had chicken pox. will go check her mouth.

she has small red spots in her mouth, roof of her mouth is very pale pink tho.

think we'l lbe off to the gp in the morning.

why is dd2 always ill? its awful.

well they have called. said that as she is responsive atm, and temp is finally coming down, there is no need to dash off down the docs. obviously if i am worried then to call back. they asked if she was in any pain other than her eyes, i had to explain that last time dd2 had a bad ear infection she barely uttered a word. its so hard trying to tell whats wrong with her at times.

what do u have?

cough, headachey and eye pain. I think its some virus

ok, at least i have some idea now of where she may have got it from. thank you !

how long does it last?

I also feel better after some meds, but when it wears off I feel terrible again

sorry, did tell you this morning that I felt rough :( I have had it for 3 days so far.
