dd 7 months as a sunken fontanel what is it?

[trace2]

shes been in hospital this week for tests but while there she as had diarrhea since monday, but had on and off since befor christmas , anyway they told us dd dont weight enough and they want her to see a deitation. we changed her milk yesterday to soya to try that out , and today on done 2 diarrhea nappies today, she as wee in her nappies and her mouths seems wet too so do i phone nhs direct?. dont want to sound silly as today have noticed its sunken in

IIRC a sunken fontanelle can be one of many signs of dehydration

she is weeing but if she is pooing a lot (and has been poorly) then i would phone NHS Direct

you won't sound silly - that is what they are there for

Yes do phone NHS direct.
It sounds like she is dehydrated, to me - not surprising after diarrhoea and for so long.
I have rung them when ds just had a bad cold and they were so nice and reassuring (I thought he was in a bad way! He wasn't...)

sunken fontanelle indicates dehydration and baby needs seeing esp with upset tummy

0845 46 47 for NHS direct

phoned them waiting for nurse to phone back with in the hour!, shes not really ill today as been for last week and she is drinking her milk

Def sounds like dehydration. nhs can get you a appointment with a doc at 24 hr clinic at hosp, no waiting in AnE. you have done the best thing. dont play it down, tell them dd has been poorly. my dd was poorly took her to AnE, they sent me home, nothing wrong, next day still worried back to docs, in hospital for 5 days with bronchilitus, your gutt instinct is better than any docs.

nurse just phoned waiting for dr.. no am not just phoned have to take her at 6 50 to prime care so ill tell when we come back

am back shes ok but have to watch her, press her nails see if they come back red and things like that.

thank you all once more

bles her

hope she is better toorrow x
