sick little princess can anyone help please

[nadz115]

I am just wondering if anyone can give me some advice I have seen 2 doctors an no luck!
My little girl is covered in a red blotchy rash started on her stomachan spread up then down, she is being sick of her feeds and has a really painful scream (she isnt really a crier usually). The doctors just keep saying it viral an give her calpol but it isnt helping her any, on both visits I was told bring her back in 2 days if no better.
Does anybody have any idea what it could be or anything I could give her to try an ease her discomfort she is 6 months old.

Many thanks in advance

sorry, no advice on what it could be (no help i know) but it doesnt sound too clever either way... my doctors are totally useless too and if i was as worried as you seem to be i would take her to local a&e,
hope shes feeling better soon xxx

Aw its awful when they are ill

Maia was quite ill just after Christmas very sleepy, not eating much but still taking milk, crying and whimpering and would only settle on me. I gave her calpol which settled her for an hour or so then I gave her ibuprofen which she seemed to be much better on, so I alternated between that and calpol giving one every 2 hours, her temp came down and after a few days she perked up again. Then she came out in a rash which was much worse when she was warm. The dr just said it was a reaction to a virus and nothing to worry about.

Maybe try alternating with calpol & ibuprofen?

Just thought I'd better add that NHS Direct told me not to give Nurofen if they have an upset tummy as it is a gut irritant.

Try and get some water into her.

Have you tried ringing NHS Direct? I always find them so helpful.
