If I start from the beginning...
About 3 weeks ago on a Tuesday, dd had a high temp and diaroeah. It passed that night and she was up and down the rest of the week and then the following Saturday we took her to the emerg Dr as she had lost her balance.
The Dr said she had Pharengitus (sp) and conjuntivitus/cellulitus in her right eye. They gave me some antibiotics which should have lasted for a week but were finished in 4 days. It turned out they had given her a higher dose than what she should have had but it would'nt have harmed her.
All this aside, when dd was born her right eye was very swollen, I was told it could be bruising from being born. It lasted until she was 1 month and wasn't treated. Since then she has had 5 infections in the same eye, 6 if you include this one. The emerg Dr we saw said I should mention being refered to the eye clinic by my GP.
Saw my gp last week and she said if it flares up again we will refer you.
Suprise suprise this week it has come up again and along with that she has developed a bad chesty cough and she has a runny nose which has stuck around for 3 weeks.
I took her to the gp this morning and they said the cough was normal and they're not treating it, they have refered her to the eye clinic but what I'm more worried about at the moment is that all she has done is sleep since we have got back, her temp is 38.1 and when she does open her eyes it's like she's not with us iykwim.
Is that normal? Should I ring the Dr? Help!
