She's had cold after cold in the last few weeks and over the last 10 days, has had a nasty cough. On Friday she had sticky eyes, so Dr gave her drops for conjunctivitis. She has been sick at least once a day since then - sometimes very liquidy and at other times, very hard and dry - diarhhoea since then, very frequent - I assume due to mucous and phlegm. Until yesterday, she was drinking plenty - off her food altogether but drinking formula and water.
Yesterday DH took her to GP who said that cough and general illness is viral and she just needs to get over it, watch out for wet nappies etc, keep her drinking and Calpol.
Today am really struggling to get liquids and pain meds into her - she's really ratty and wobbly - seems to want to sleep all the time, but the cough seems very painful and keeps waking her up. She's had a few oz milk and as many sips of water as I can get into her but isn't having wet nappies at all.
Am unsure what to do, really, she's been to the GP as many times in the last 2 weeks as she has in her first year (3) - don't want to be neurotic parent, but really worried about her - cough is horrible and painful, can't get fluids or meds into her.....worse because my glands are up and I feel awful, too, so may be overreacting.
Any advice gratefully received.... TIA
