Dd1 has blood in poo, reassure me! Bit grim sorry

[ChirpyGirl]

Dd1 is 2.4 +has had a fever since sat am and has been off food and not sleeping right. Poo has been loose but today it is like liquid and the first one had thread like bits of blood in.
Rang nhs direct as docs was engaged and they said it could be one off but to call doc if happens again. Well changed her hour ago and its just tinged bright red with sort of blood mucusy bits in (sorry its grim!)
sang doc and can only go in at half 3 before surgery cop no appts left, need reassuring stories/anecdotes please!

Am on phone hence bad typhoi/grammar

If she's had upset tummy the blood could just be irritation from that - that's happened to DS before. He was really poorly at the time, but recovered within a week and doctor didn't prescribe anything besides liquid diet and lots of rest (easier said than done -DS doesn't stay still for long!). She def needs to see doctor, but you're taking her today, so he will ask all the right questions. In the meantime if you're tepid sponging to keep fever down, giving Calpol and getting as many fluids down her as possible then you're doing all the right things. I wouldn't give her nurofen though as it can be irritating on an upset tummy, esp if there's some bleeding. Good luck, sympathies, it's horrid having a poorly toddler.
