This year has not been our year with DD2, it seems she is sick every couple of weeks varying from the odd cold to viral infections but it is getting beyond a joke and other issues are currently arising.
In the last month complaints from DD2 (aside from colds etc) have been:
*strange smell (like infection) coming from her mouth or nose at night when she lays down (atleast 2 nights I slept with her and it was STRONG) but gone when she was up and about in the morning
* random coughing fits
* complaining of a sore head / headache
* sore eyes (at same time as above)
* Random blood nose which took over 20min to stop (and she didn't have her finger up there)
* tired and whingey at the end of the day
* randomly pale
* Hot to touch but 10min later is ok (even while resting)
* Flush cheeks (while resting)
* Her legs are 'sore' - she's recently had a growth spurt so I would be surprised if it was this again.
* Snoring is getting worse
* waking with big dark circles even after a supposed full nights sleep
I know there could be a huge range of things causing these things, the headache & blood nose are most concerning to me at the moment (both of which I suffered as a child & still do)
I have a Dr's apt for her today and am going to ask they do a blood test to check for iron levels, check her sinuses for infection, check her adenoids - is there anything else I should be looking for that could be causing one or all of these issues.
I am really over not having our happy healthy psycho running around like a nuctase
