    I would take her to emergency. Don't ever feel like it's not "urgent" enough. They will quickly assess her straight away and if it's not deemed urgent you will have to wait around a bit but they will t least monitor her and you'll be in the right place if she gets worse.

    Hugs I hope she recovers asap. I was in emergency last night for DS!

    Yes, take her to the hospital especially if she is still being sick.
    You also have to be careful that she doesn't become dehydrated.
    If you cannot give nurse on call a ring, they are really helpful.

    My DD got gastro from the local swimming pool. EXACT same symptoms as what you are describing. I took her to the hostpital and they monitored her. Basically just watched her, didn't really do anything.

    They told me 10mls of plain water every 10 minutes. You can also dilute it (half/half) with a bit of apple juice for some sugar if you are comfortable doing that.

    But if you have a syringe (like that comes with panadol), it's 10mls every 10 minutes. That's all we did at the hospital.

    Reminds me of DD two months ago when she had RSV (bronchiolitis) - in addition though her breathing was fast and shallow.

    I'd give her a dosage of nurofen or panadol and take her to the emergency ward - better to be safe than sorry.

    Good luck!

    I hope everything is ok. Her being so lethargic would have me worried.
    I took my DS for that reason before chrissy & he was admitted for 2 nights for dehydration.

    Oh I didn't see this post earlier.

    Please take her to the hospital. I saw a thing on telly once about a child who inhaled a bit of water and got very sick indeed. Better to be safe than sorry.

    Please let us know how you get on. xxx

    I thought of the same thing as Marydean. Secondary or dry drowning. Sorry, don't want to scare.. but I'd be going to the hospital.

    Hope all is ok *hugs*
