Id still take her. Rather be safe than sorry.
Id take her just to be on the safe side. She's only little, and you aren't wasting any ones time by getting checked out. Hugs. Hope she's ok.
yes I'd still take her
Yes, take her. You won't be wasting anyone's time :hug:
I would take her, she is little and hasn't been well and it was a low temp
It won't be a fun wait and it probably won't be your last visit to the emergency department as a mummy but its worth it just in case there is something untoward going on. :hug: must be doubly hard without your DH
I hope she's ok little_O. I didn't realise you were on your own - how scary. Keep us updated x
Emergency was packed. After 3 hours a nurse saw us and did the ob's but her temp was back at 36. I took my thermometer too and it's right. When she fell asleep though it dropped back to 34.1 which the nurse said he hadn't heard of before.
However, we weren't high on the priority list because her temp was ok now so we ended up leaving and I'll get her into my gp tomorrow.
There were some crazy sick kids there. I hope dd is just coping with a cold.
Glad her temp gets back to normal but no answers is never a great result.
My ds2 is a ftt child and he gets cold very easy. As a baby we would put a hat and socks on him even in.summer. Just the other night he came into our bed shaking with.cold but had heating and more blankets on his bed then his brother. I've never taken his sleeping temp but a might over the next few nights out of curiosity.
Sorry to hijack. Just hoping you dd is a 'cold' person and nothing wrong with her :)
Hope you can get some answers today.
Nurse here :0)
So with Hypothermia (low temps below 35.8) what we are concerned about generally is sepsis, which is a generalised wide spread infection in the body that is a very serious condition and requires hospital stay.
However some people have a naturally low temperature. My mother for example sits normally around 35 and when she is sick will have a fever of 36.5 (normal for you and me) Your bubba could just be one of these cool kids :) however I think follow you instincts and just take her to the GP today to get checked and make sure that the teething symptoms are just that.
HTH :)
Thanks everyone for your speedy advice last night! Really appreciate it.
Ella, thanks for explaining. I wasn't getting any answers on what it could be.
We had a bad night of sleeping and I ended up giving her some panadol and got a 2 hour patch. She's up and into everything this morning but still grizzly, a temp of 35.4 and pulling at her ear. Her nose seems red as well, like inside, red and sore.
Have to wait for my gp to open. I wish there was a pediatric gp... Guess that defeats the term go though...
I'm sorry you didn't get any answers last night and sorry that you now have to do the GP runaround today.
I hope you get the all clear today x
Take care littleO, lots of cuddles for your bubba too.
Make sure you let us know how you get on at the doctors!
Big :hug: for you and bubs
So they weren't too worried. She is all clear for ears, throat and chest. He has been given some antibiotic cream for her nose because they were worried it may be staph??
Temps didn't concern them. Says she got a virus and that could make the temperature drop.
So I'm at a bit of a loss...
I was under the impression that staph is fairly serious, I woul def keep a close eye on her and if she deteriorates any more, take her straight to emergency.
Don't wast time second guessing yourself.
Hope all is ok :)
Well this is what I thought. They had two gp's check her. I am watching her like a hawk :(:
:hug:
