Thanks for the replies, yesterday she didn't drink lots but she did have a cup of juice and also some milk before bed so I was just a bit worried when her nappy was so dry when she woke up. She has been okay most of the morning but still not eating or drinking very much. Trying to get lots of water in to her but it's not happening, might just have to give up on the water and switch to juice as she prefers it (like most kids do!)
I don't have a car during the day so it's hard to get out and about but I might try get in to the docs this evening once my husband is home from work :-)
If she seems like she is on the up and up then a dr probably isn't going to tell you much apart from what you are already doing - keep up the fluids and encourage her to eat when she feels like it. If she has a bit of a cold the food and drink probably don't taste like normal. Does she like soup?
She has always been a rather fussy eater but as I type this I have a big pot of veggie soup on the stove...she is having a nap now as she was up at 6am and hopefully she will fancy some soup when she gets up. Thanks for the concern ladies, I am sure it is just a cold and will be gone soon. It is horrible when they aren't themselves though, isn't it?
Just wanted to upate you lovely ladies who offered advice...took my daughter to the docs on saturday, turned out to be a throat infection and she was given antibiotics, saturday evening she started with a little rash on her bottom which i thought was just nappy rash due to her having the runs for two days...turns out it got worse on sunday so took her back to the docs on monday and it is a possible allergic reaction to penicillin OR a viral infection rash...so she is on other antibiotics now, is eating and feeling a lot better but still covered in a red rash, especially on her poor little face.
