Hi mums,
My 7 month old daughter was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection/bronchiolitis last week and seemed to pick up last Thursday, when she ate well. She’s been off her food/bottles since Friday and I took her to the GP that day and he said she was fine and her chest sounded raspy but clearing. Had a rubbish weekend, she wouldn’t eat and her temperature was up and down. Back to the doctors on Monday and he said one of her ears was scarlet and bulging so prescribed antibiotics.
She seems much happier but still will not take a bottle or water. She’s up at the hospital now for observation regarding dehydration but she’s full of beans otherwise and smiling and laughing at the doctors. She’s a massive foodie but only had 12oz of formula today, which is a massive fight but is picking at crisps and fruit.
When will she get better? I’ve cried all day, I feel so alone as we’ve had about 6 trips to the doctors and out of hours over the last two weeks and they say she’s fine. She clearly isn’t if she won’t eat.
I’d appreciate any words of wisdom to keep me going ❤️
