well this morning she seems alot better, she is eating and has no fever. It looks like the antibiotics have kicked in, she is still moping around and a bit sooky so im keeping a close eye on her.

thanks everyone for your help

hi

try given her a nice luke warm bath to help get the temp down & if it doesnt help, if theres a hospital close by it would be a good idea to get her there hun as they will be able to tell to you what the problem is hun..

best of luck & hope she feels better soon

take care

It sounds like she has the virus that has also hit our family hard.  That is, only 4 of us survived, the other 3 were rather green for about a week.

It does start with the headache and then the vomiting and then a sore throat etc etc.  Not much you can do except keep her comfortable.

You seem to have it covered now sweety! Just let us know how the docs goes....Big hugs for you all.

Have you got any ibuprofen? It always works better on my headaches than paracetamol anyway. It also works nicely on fevers, though I seem to remember you're supposed to give it 2 hours apart from paracetamol (Kellzacar or Blackwidowkate wrote an article a while back, I'll try looking it up).

Apart from that, badger the doctors. I found out that our dr has a policy of seeing ALL children on the day their parent rings up - except I'd been unable to get past the receptionist for 2 days and she nearly got admitted to hospital. Never again! Try being a hysterical mum if it gets your daughter into the doctors today IMO! She may be having an allergic reaction to something - my DD1 ended up in an ambulance in July as they werent sure what a rash was and wouldnt take chances.

It's probably nothing and she'll probably be fine, but if your "mummy-radar" is flashing warning signals, then act on it - better safe than sorry.

Hope that helps!
