Feeling like a terrible parent :(

[user1480264544]

I feel like such a bad mum, I know everyone will say it's not my fault but I can't help it. My beautiful little girl is so unwell and I have no idea what is wrong with her! She's forever getting infections .. ear and throat, suffering with extremely bad diarrhoea that now contains blood and she just isn't her happy 19 month old self! This has been going on for weeks even months! I've done all I can by taking her to the doctors all the time and sitting in a&e for hours but I have still had no reasons for why she's going through this! I've just watched my baby go from a happy loving little girl to one that doesn't want to play, eat or talk.. I feel like as her mum I should know what's wrong or even get some answers but I'm failing miserably! I just want my little girl back

I don't know what to say apart from i don't think it's normal keep on with the doctors

I don't think you are a bad mum for worrying about your dd, you sound like a normal worried mum def not normal so keep going back to GP, have they done bloods, stool samples, allergy testing and ref to ENT/ paediatrics?

It's awful when they're so poorly. It could be a combination of infection after infection having floored her immune system, and the myriad of bugs going around at this time of year.
Have the docs taken stool samples? If there's blood in it, they really should. And if ear/throat infections are persistent can she be referred to ENT?
You're not a bad mum, it's hard going when your wee one is poorly and you feel so helpless. It sounds like you're doing everything you can.

That doesn't sound good, especially if it's gone on for months. Can you request referral to paediatrics? If not, perhaps the health visitors would be able to give you some back-up.

Well after writing this I finally received a call from the hospital yesterday and she's had food poisoning this whole time! I am
Not sure how it wasn't spotted sooner as the doctor I spoke to said her symptoms are so in line with this particular bug (campylobacter) that they found after I pushed for a stool sample the other infections were subject to her immune system being down due to the food poisoning!! I pushed for bloods to be done aswell so hopefully all matches up and she gets on the mend!! I'm
Just so happy we have an answer all be it a few months too late! Thanks all. X
