my little one is sick

my little one got up this morning and she was fine, she ate some pancakes and fruit for breakfast, then she played for a while and around 11 am she fell asleep on the couch,

after an hour she woke up all grumpy, and crying, her little nose was running a little and she was really unhappy, so i took her out on a little walk, i thought maybe she needs some fresh air...

we were out for an hour, and right when we came back she wanted to lay on the couch, and she fell asleep again.

She woke up, and was just crying, she doesnt wanna eat or drink anything, i have tried to take her temperature, but she wont let me... her head feels kind of hot, so she might be running a fever, but i am not sure....

 i am really getting worried, cuz she refuses to eat or drink..., she just fell asleep again......

what to do????

you have to make her drink, if not you have to get her to the hospitol so they can get an iv in her
Jeana Hamilton Feb 1, 2009, 8:22pm EST
take it under her arm and add a degree if you cant get in her mouth

Poor baby, I feel for her and you!

Try to get her to drink when she's awake, even if it's just a few sips. Don't worry about eating but she really needs liquid!

I hope she feels better soon!

keep her hydrated and let her sleep. If she gets too high of a temp, get her to the doctor. Don't freak out, kids bounce back really quickly.
Lisa Frost Feb 1, 2009, 8:28pm EST
If she won't take fluids, you are going to need to take her to the er! Especially if you find she does have a temp! I hope she feels better soon!

Keep an eye on her and if nothing changes soon call her doctor.

Hope she feels better soon.

I'm so sorry, do you have any Popsicles? If she will take on it will help with fluids and reduce fever. Try using a straw, it may help too. I hope she feels better, and don't forget to take care of yourself too.

You have gotten some good advice
B.B. B. Feb 1, 2009, 8:35pm EST
thanks you Kris, i will try this when she wakes up. she has been sleeping most of the day

My heart goes out to you. I would rather be sick or hurt than have my kids sick or hurt. My son had an asthma attack today tha last 4 hours and nearly put him in the hospital. I would rather have me hurt than my kids! Take care of you and your sweet daughter too!
Lisa C. Feb 1, 2009, 8:47pm EST
Poor baby. :( Even if you can get her to have just a few sips of water, that would be great. I hope she's feeling better soon.
Debbie R. Feb 1, 2009, 8:48pm EST
Put her in the tub, and help get her temperature down.
Carol V. Feb 1, 2009, 8:53pm EST
I hope that she's feeling better soon. Everyone here has given you great advice.

Fever spikes at sundown so watch that too. Sorry your day was worrisome!
Karen L. Feb 1, 2009, 9:19pm EST
I was going to suggest a popsicle, but I guess someone else had that idea too! Hope shes feeling better soon
Cheryl W. Feb 1, 2009, 9:30pm EST
Poor baby...I hope she feels better very soon!
Kimber L. Feb 1, 2009, 9:33pm EST
They also make pedialite popsicles which replenish her electrolytes on top of rehydrating her, that is what i used to use when my little one was sick!
♥ Adair ♥ K. Feb 1, 2009, 10:06pm EST
I hope she is feeling better. Popsicles, water, soda, anything that you can get to her drink to keep her hydrated.

I found when my girls were little putting a cool washcloth across the back of their neck also helped reduce the fever.

Popsicles are a great idea. Or just even a couple of sips is better than nothing.
Stacey *Mamasaid* D. Feb 2, 2009, 9:31am EST
Ice pops usually help. Maybe some Pedialyte would do the trick. Hope she is feeling better.

Poor baby, I agree with everyone , try to get her to drink. While she is asleep, take temp under the arm if nothing else. If all else fails get her to the doctor or ER.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Feb 2, 2009, 2:26pm EST
I hope your little one feels better soon.
Heidi Cole Feb 2, 2009, 6:22pm EST
Hopefully she is feeling better today! My suggestion really depend on the age of the child. Anyway you can always call the nurse advice line at your doc's office. They can give you some signs to watch out for!

Stopping by from RAOC!
