Re: Any ideas...
Asked by Ravenheart

Question:

Godd Morning

My baby girl is sick.. wahhh

Yesterday at about 10.30 am she came in from playing outside and said she had a bad head ache, we gave her water and some panadol

and she basically slept all day then she threw up after dinner, we called a doc to come out but they didnt show grrr...

she has had fevers, panadol only gets rid of it for a little while.. im worried cos i dont know if ill b able to get into the docs today being monday...

also she has a bout 5 spots on her arms n legs flat red ones about the size of a 5cent piece. they might just be mozzie bites..

any ideas or what i can do to help her.. till we see a doc??

thanks everyone



My Advice:

AS with any thing with kids you need to be care full as they can go down hill very quickly. if you have not been able to get into your doctor i would be getting her to the hospital as there are alot of nasty bugs out there with all sorts of out comes some not so good altho every one is saying the flue  it is far better to get her to a doctor given that none of us can actually see your child and those spots my rule is head ache temp spots = doctor now not in the morning or next day i learnt a long time ago to tell the recepionist how it actually is do not make it sound better than it really is as they do have an emergency policey where they will push you in to be seem asap....

so make use of it most people who go to the doctors are not as serious as your little girls case it is far better to be safe tham sorry...
