Hello,
I’m after some advice…DD developed a cold/cough last Saturday, slightly raised temperature on and off. She has been refusing solids since then (previously 2 meals a day) and not overly keen on taking her usual amount of milk but was managing to get at least 50% into her (and water). Went to see the nurse Tues who said upper respiratory infection and manage at home with what I was doing but by Thursday she seemed no better and I was concerned. Dr said no chest infection but possibility of a slight ear infection (slightly red) and if she didn’t improve with calpol then to start on antibiotics. I thought we’d turned a corner as she was wanting more milk yesterday but come the evening she was back to refusing….it’s now been nearly 24 hours and all she has had is 2oz when she woke in the night, which I struggled to get into her.
She seems happy enough, smiling, rolling about but is more grizzly than usual and has about an hour in the night where she is inconsolable for no reason I can come up with.
She’s drinking water from the bottle so I don’t think it’s pain but I’m at a loss with what to do. She’s still having wet nappies as drinking water. 111 will send me to the urgent care centre and I’m not sure what they’ll do as she’s been checked out already.
Im worried about her calorie/fluid intake 😔
