My 8 month old is unwell and been put on antibiotics. However since yesterday she won't eat or drink anything. Today I forced 30ml of water down her via syringe and tried formula on a spoon, syringez normal bottle and sippy cup and between them alll have managed about 50ml or so. That's all she's had since yesterday evening. When should I call the GP out of worry for dehydration?

Has she done any wees? I would call them now for advice if she’s not taking on any fluid at all.

I'd probably ring now before your surgery closes just for some advice and reassurance, has she had wet nappies?

Try to get a hold of your GP before they close, if not 111. Hope your little one feels better soon

Hi everyone, most people suggested calling the GP so we did, we've now got a numbing spray as her tonsils are inflamed and puffy (no wonder she didn't want to eat). Now it's just trying to get the spray onto her tonsils 😅

Bless her, hopefully you can get it on and she can start drinking at least tonight.
