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?

Or possibly 999.

Hospitals & GP surgeries are rife with germs. Get medical help ASAP

You're kidding right?

How did she break her collarbone, could she have hurt somewhere else at the same time ?

Definitely seek medical opinion. Is she complaining of any.pain in her legs? I would.want to get her seen by out of hours GP.

This doesn't sound right at all, take her to A&E!

Another one saying "that's not right".

Go to A+E.

Toddlers are more likely to be up jumping about with a fracture. This isn't right.

There's no way mine would stay in bed for days at 3 years old. I'd be seriously concerned. Please seek medical advice ASAP. She's clearly had a big accident recently to break her collarbone. She needs to be checked over again

Get to A&E now, that’s not right or normal. You don’t get that wobbly from 3 days in bed at her age.

It does sound worrying. I would call NHS 111 and ask their advice.

Agree you need to seek medical advice.

Has she been having painkillers for her collarbone?

It could be post-infectious reactive myositis (also called childhood myositis or post viral myositis). Pain in the lower extremities following a viral infection - a self-limiting, mild condition.

But nobody can diagnose on this thread. I hope you are able to get quick medical advice.

I thought that Andhow but it looks like the little one hasn't had a fever, she's been in bed with a broken collarbone.

Bloody hell ! Get her seen to
That's not normal at all

In my experience doctors are happy to see small children even if it turns out that they are fine. They’d rather parents err on the side of caution and get their children properly assessed by a medical professional. So don’t let any concerns about ‘wasting their time’ put you off getting an urgent appointment or going to A&E.

It could be sepsis OP. Please please get her seen.

Been to A&E she is fine, legs are just weak from not using them past few days, been given some exercises but she's walking a lot better already.
My daughter has autism and finds things like this very stressful as she doesn't speak well so can't communicate with us properly and does not understand whats going on so has been layed up on the sofa feeling sorry for herself that's all. So dont compare my 3 year old to your 3 year olds because I'm sure she is very very different. All i was asking was for some suggestions to get her legs strengthened, not people jumping down my neck and saying I'm neglectful.

Ffs why would you not have called 111 or gone to A and E for something this serious regarding a 3 year old. Honestly, sort yourself out.

So why not put all that extra info in your original post.

Its not something serious though because shes fine?🤔

I'm glad you went to A&E. Thank you for coming back and letting us know everything's fine.

The thing is, we were all very worried and you were right to be worried too. You really can't be too careful with a young child, especially when they have recently had an accident like in this case where it could have been complications from the original injury - but there was no way of knowing that without consulting a doctor.

If in doubt in the future, please don't hesitate to dial 111 for advice.

With all due respect, I have 2DC with autism. One has neurological issues. Wobbly legs was an issue. We did extensive physical and occupational therapy. His care was overseen by a pediatric neurologist.

You're always best to get these things checked out. To be honest, Id' have been worried regardless of autism.

Glad you went, glad she's ok, don't think you over-reacted, indeed, I'd have even lower a threshold if she's not able to communicate. Hope she perks up.

You should have taken her earlier. You were remiss, and you are now using your daughter's autism as an excuse for not seeking medical care when it was indicated. I'm extremely glad that she was fine, but you had no way of knowing this, especially since she has communication differences and therefore could not describe her feelings to you clearly.

You would do well to remember not to simply guess at your daughter's experiences when she is exhibiting behaviour that clearly warrants medical investigation. Her limited communication makes her vulnerable, and you should be especially thorough with these issues, not less so.
