That is so good you feel happy that you took her there.

Sounds like they did a thorough job to make sure she would be ok.

Sorry to hear you feel sick now. Hope you both make a speedy recovery.

I hope Kylah is on the mend today, glad you took her to the hosp. I always go with my gut and luckily my doc will laugh at me, if it's nothing, but he always says to bring her in if I'm concerned at all. I my doc!

We also have problems getting Pamol into Mikayla, the hospital gave us suppositories, but luckily we've not had to use them yet, funnily enough she started taking it liquid better when we got them ]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:48:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=580448&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#580448 <![CDATA[When do i start to worry? : Hi all, We got back from the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=580327&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#580327 Author: MissCandice

Hi all,

We got back from the hospital around 2am, Kylah was soooo exhausted she screamed untill 4am!
Been a long night, and to make it worse iv just woken up with whateva it is she has and it hurts!

When we got there she had a temp of 38 and her oxygen levels were low. Didnt stop them making us wait 2 hours to be seen by an actual doctor!!
But she was really nice, and said she doesnt want to send us home untill her temp was down and her oxygen levels up. Because she had rib shadow as well..

After a chest xray to check for pneumonia we were told we could go home but to bring her back if it gets worse, worst part was having to pin her down and force pamol into her!! Felt so mean!

So shes still asleep now i think we are going to have a busy couple of nights getting her used to proper sleeping times, after being at afterhours a couple days ago till some ungodly hour shes taken to sleeping late in the day..
Thanks so much for your advice i feel so much better that we took her there!]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:46:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=580327&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#580327 <![CDATA[When do i start to worry? : how did you get on last night...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=580286&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#580286 Author: jack_&_charli

how did you get on last night kandice?
i'm glad you took her to the hospital, 24hrs are always grumpy and useless!!

i find that if i get to the really worried point, then it's best to not second guess myself and go to the dr or hospital

jsut seen this thread but i see you've headed to the hospital now. hope little Kylah is okay.

probably a bit late to suggest now, but did the doc check her throat for an infection? Emily got a throat infection a couple of months back - she was coughing and gagging heaps and really really unsettled.

also probably a bit late to suggest now, and not sure if Kylah would be a bit old for this, but would she suck the pamol off your finger for comfort if she's feeling unwell? ]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:33:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=580079&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#580079 <![CDATA[When do i start to worry? : I&#039;m glad you have taken her...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=580035&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#580035 Author: Rachael21

Hope shes Ok, you probably wouldnt be able to sleep tonight if you hadnt taken her to the hospital.

I took Janaya to the hospital when she was complaining of chest pain and had a horrible phlemy cough. They said she had bronchitis and sent me home with Anti-Bs. By 10pm she was finding it really hard to breathe and after 2 hours humming and ha'ing I took her back, sure enough she was having an asthma attack on top of the bronchitis.

I was just going to say take her to the hospital as well but I see you are on your way.

I would be worrying too if it was me in your position so dont think you are being over-protective. Its our job too isn't it.

Good luck. I hope everything will be ok.

Sorry haven't read the other replys but so go for the second opinion or better yet hospital. Stuff what anyone else thinks if your worried then your the one who knows you child best. Even if it turns out to be nothing you'll feel better knowing for sure. The doctors will understand theres no such thing as over reacting when you have kids.

I was just going to come on and say ,take her to the hospital, when it comes to your child being sick wrong and "looking like an over paranoid mum" doesnt come into it .

Short story , when C was 1 I was in hospital with her, she had gastro, and that night there was the biggest chaos, because the helicopter was coming with a suspected case of Meningitis from waiheke Island, 20 mins later a nurse came in to check on C and I enquired about it , "was the helicopter case meningitis" , the nurse , said "no, it wasnt after all." , then she turned and with a look of genuine relief and gladness, she said "thank Goodness"
and she meant it, and im pretty sure that unless they are a holes , most nurses and doctors would much much rather you were being "over paranoid" and wrong , than the worst case scenario, and right .

Yeah Kandice I would go to the hospital too, better safe than sorry and all that.
It could be croup perhaps, that's a really bad cough but still best to get it checked out properly.
She's been ill for a few days now and I don't think anyone will laugh at you for taking a sick toddler to the hospital.

I've taken Spencer to the after hours here a few times and it's been nothing but the docs have never minded, it's so hard to know what's going on when they can't tell you how bad they feel or what their feeling.]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:24:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=579831&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#579831 <![CDATA[When do i start to worry? : Me too.

I would go to the hospital for the reassurance factor. I always say "yes I am the overprotective worrying first time Mum, but better to be safe than sorry huh" and the doctor always has a giggle at me!

I was in the same situation on Saturday night, my gut feeling told me that Lauren needed to see a doctor, as much as I thought I could be overreacting, I was so pleased to arrive at the hosptial so they could reassure me that she was going to be o.k!

I say go to the hospital and get her checked out, even if you have to sit there all night waiting, it is worth it IMHO.]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:17:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=579820&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#579820 <![CDATA[When do i start to worry? : What we do for our kids wont take...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23526&PID=579812&title=when-do-i-start-to-worry#579812 Author: blondie

Kylahs still sick, getting worse. The 24 hour doctor told us whooping cough, but its not.

Its a really really chesty flemmy cough. She coughs and coughs and coughs, chokes on the flem and coughs abit more.

Shes slept HEAPS today. Woke up at 7.30 and thats a sleep in and back to bed at 10am and slept till almost 2pm and then was asleep on DF at 4pm. We woke her at 5pm tried to give her dinner but shes falling asleep.

When would you worry? She wont take pamol, shes drinking ok. Wont eat. I cant for the life of me get the pamol into her.
The doctor told me to give her 1000mg of vitamin C a day. I cant get her to take it, iv crunched it up and put it in her bottle but she can taste it and doesnt want it.

2 questions,

1. How do you get your baby/toddler to take pamol if the refuse and
