3 year old been in bed poorly for couple of days now can't hardly stand?

[MummyFaith03]

When she stands up shes so wobbly i dont no what to do to strengthen her legs?

Speak to gp!!! She should’nt be that bad unless totally knocked out by a virus. She may still be ill.

I'd be more concerned about why she's that ill - has she seen a doctor? Does she have a temperature, rash etc? Is she drinking enough?

Is she feeling better now, and the wobbly legs ‘just’ because she’s been in bed for three days?

Is she actually better? I don’t think a couple of days in bed should do that to a 3 year old and I think she probably needs to be seen by a doctor.

I would call NHS immediately for peace of mind.

That does not sound right or normal

Not normal at all! See a doctor!

Out of hours dr right now OP. Hopefully just a virus but I had something at the start of the year where I was wobbly/couldn’t stand and the Dr called me an ambulance. Spent several weeks in hospital. Recovery took 6 months. Some neurological illnesses can affect movement and can be very serious. Please don’t delay, phone now.

She broke her collarbone on saturday so hasn't wanted to move. She walked a little at hospital tuesday when we attended the fracture clinic and then sat back down until now.

TAKE HER TO OUT OF HOURS MEDICAL CARE NOW

Are you sure she hasn't hurt herself somewhere else? It seems odd that she isn't walking with a broken collar bone.

Have they been in bed due to the collar bone break, or for some other illness?

Neither of my children would have been capable of staying in bed for days aged 3, so your description is ringing massive alarm bells. You need medical advice urgently.

If she's that wobbly and weak, and has had fall, i’d Be concerned about concussion, compression or internal bleeding. She needs seeing by a dr this evening (i’m a first aider).

Agree this is a medical emergency. Please seek urgent medical care. Dial 999 now.

Hope you can speak to medical professional soon.

Shes totally fine apart from the wobbly legs :/ is it not just because she hasnt walked much? Im sure if i sat down for days my legs would be jelly

How did she break her collar bone? I'd take her to a&e if she can barely walk.

There's no we can tell, I would get some professional advice.

Why has she been in bed for days with a broken collarbone?

Wow. Just wow. FFS please call for medical help. You are being neglectful not just making sure.

No 3 year old spends more than sleeping hours in a bed. Go to A&E. Not normal at all. Hope she is ok. Out of hours will most probably send her to A&E. I would want a paediatrician to look her over. Not normal for 3 days after a fall.

You say she's totally fine apart from wobbly legs but the reality is you don't know for sure and wobbly legs and being unable to walk rings alarm bells.

Please seek urgent medical care. They will not criticise you for being careful even if she turns out to be fine. At the very least dial 111 and get their opinion.

I broke my collarbone, OP. Incredibly painful but I assure you it didn't stop me from walking. You need to seek urgent medical attention.

Go to A and E, my DS2 broke his collar bone was not in bed for three days! He actually couldn't settle in bed had to sleep with him. By day three he was playing tablet and watching too much TV.

Please phone 111.
