hi mummies i would just like to say that following your instincts can sometimes be a life saver!! My first experience of this came when my Little boy was 9 months old and had some surgery some 6 weeks before ( he had club feet and had a correction done) 
he was in thigh high plaster and had pins in his feet as well as the incisions from the operation.
He spent everynight screaming for about a week and when i touched his toes he would cry like i was cutting them off, so we went to the hospital at 3am with a screaming baby and a slep deprived mum and Aunty, i explained all to the doctor and he said in no umcertain terms that my child was teething and to stop being so silly and to take him home, His sugrical site is closed now and therefor would have no infection! ( he had pins OPEN WOUNDS-HELLO)
We took him home and i still didnt feel right so i followed what i thought was right and took him to see his physio who took off the plaster on the spot , we were then rushed to westmead childrens where i was told he had a major infection ( lots of green pus with a foul stench) another 24 hours and my baby would have lost his leg!!!
Thankfully it all cleared up after 6 weeks of antibiotics.
What i am trying to say mummies is that if you think something is not right have it looked at and looked at until you are happy with the response, doesnt matter if you think you look silly mums know best and i know that i would prefer to look silly then have anything bad happen!1
I hope my experience can help someone!!! xoxoxoxoxo
