Thank you all so much help/suggestions. I took her down to our ED department. I went over everything I posted and added the diarrhoea which started in triage room. The triage nurse was lovely but the dr was an protanising a$$. Apparantely I'm just a mother who is over reacting!!!!! There is nothing to worry about. We were told that we just need to get fluids into her and her body will sort itself out when it's ready. I knew I hated going to ED for a reason!!! They wouldn't even give her PR panadol or an antiemetic because her body is doing this for a reason. I KNOW THAT BUT CANT YOU MAKE HER COMFORTABLE!!! Anyway my gorgeous little princess is curled up on the couch, grizzling "oh mummy me sick so yucky" it's breaking my heart. Her temp is still over 39 but I have at least have managed to get four teaspoons of diluted juice in her and she has kept it down. I'm watching her like a hawk for a wee.
Thanks for thinking of us . I think I have a rough night ahead.
Oh Dan that sucks! That would have made me seen red and I'd have demanded he do something. There might be a reason for it but there are also risks (as you know) for those combined symptoms.
Keep watching her and if you're not happy, go back or ring your GP.
I do know they dislike giving maxalon in vomiting children as it isn't always effective.
Have you got some panadol supps? May be a bit tricky if she's got the runs but give it a go. Poor poppet. I totally sympathise. DD was whimpering and call for me in her sleep over the weekend and it broke my heart.
Liviam, I don't want to alarm you, but if I were you, I would take her back.
She sounds to me like he is getting very, very dehydrated.
If she is no better by tomorrow morning, definitely take her back and agitate until they admit you and rehydrate her. Does our nearest hospital have a proper paediatric ward? If not, how far away is the nearest hospital that does? Because I have to be honest, if you presented to me with your history, I would have either put in an IV or put down an NG tube and started rehydrating her by now.
Don't be afraid to take her in overnight if you need to, either.
Poor darling I really would have thought they'd have done more, particularly when she wasn't able to keep any fluids down. Does she just have a nasty tummy bug? If so I hope the rest of your household stay healthy! Sending big cuddles and get well vibes to your house tonight.
You're not alone tonight, Charlotte is in a similar position, had a wee an hour ago that has given me hope, but other than that she is throwing up everything, even water. She has been asleep all day, except waking to vomit.
Is she still isn't keeping water down, I will be at the hospital with her by early morning I think.
I'm worried ab out her so I've set myself up a makeshift bed in her room so I can keep a really close eye on her overnight. If I think she any worse we'll be back down there and this time I will demanding they do something to help my little girl. I'm so cranky that they dismissed me as an overreacting mum - she is so off it isn't funny. I know my girl they dont!!!
Keep going with the little sips of fluid, even if you have to syringe it in, it is good that she has started to take tiny amounts, but she needs quite a bit more to get her hydrated, do you have any hydrolyte, or can you get any from a late night chemist? It will make the fluids that she is getting worth more, but they still need to take quite a bit before it make a difference.
Like Schmickers said, if there I another ED, that specifically focuses on children I would take her there, they just seem to understand more, we always take DD to the childrens hospital over the local ED, they gave DD suppositories as she needed pain relief, and if that wasn't going to work, they were going to put an IV in, she also went through a couple of bags of hydrolyte via an NGT but it made a big difference, as they also tried getting something in orally to no avail, they even failed getting the pain relief in *which made me feel less of a failure".
If she hasn't improved by the early tomorrow morning, take her back in, thinking of you and your little girl xxoo
