Hey ladies!! Wow I haven’t posted on here since I was pregnant!! Anyway, my daughter is 9 months old and woke up yesterday with a temperature of 39.3, I gave her ibuprofen and it went down, within an hour or two it went back up, then about an hour later it was at 39.6, I took her to the doctors and he said she has an ear infection and possible chest infection so he gave her antibiotics. (Her dad has had the winter flu really badly for well over a week, haven’t seen him out of bed in days and he’s not normally a wimp so it must be bad lol) but I started her on the antibiotics yesterday and she’s just woken up now diarrhoea every where and a temperature of 39.8. I know I need to wait for the antibiotics to start working but I’m so worried about her, she hasn’t eaten solids properly in two days (no more than a nibble of toast) and has only breastfed from me three times today, I’m really worried that she might be getting dehydrated and I just don’t know how to get her to stop burning up😭 sorry for the long post but should I just wait it out or take her back to the doctors?? Xxxxx
