Ill baby
So my girl is 9 months and has been ill
(Went soft play last week and thinking she caught it from there as my three-year-old little sister was also there and she was a little bit ill afterwards and has had bad poos to)
So she has been ill since about Friday having snotty nose runny poos and just general bad mood
Now the poops have gone quite bad she’s pooping about 3/4 times a day it’s mostly pure liquid, yellow colour
Has got a really bad nappy rash from it, skin has been going bumpy from irritation
And smells quite acidic
She projectile vomited once on Monday also
I’m thinking I should call the doctors today but just want some opinions on wether this sound all normal or not?

Sorry if any of that sounds blunt or worrying. I don't mean to worry you at all. But doctors is definitely the right thing to do and you're doing the right thing. A mother's love and intuition always makes any issue fade. Don't worry xx
@Abi thank you so much so I took her yesterday he didn’t seem to worried as she’s still eating okay he gave me cream for the nappy rash and this thing to mix with water for her to drink to keep her hydrated Also have set off poo sample as that’s the main thing he was a bit worried about He also said if the poos are still like it by next week to come back So really hoping it’ll start getting better soon

I have seen similar with my girl (9m in 4 days), but not all at once like this. I'd call doctors ASAP, or just show up. They don't like it, but be persistent and they'll get her seen. If there was a child there unvaccinated (pls no one mistake this as me arguing about anti-vax, I'm just explaining science), even if your child is vaccinated, or vice versa, it lowers herd immunity meaning your child could still catch something another child carries. Illness wise, runny poos are normal, vomiting is normal, congestion is normal, but all at once, I would definitely recommend doctors incase it worsens. NHS site it tells you warning signs of when to seek help. Not sure what doctor gives for illnesses, but nappy rash wise, they can give steroid or antibiotic cream. Protect yourself, wash hands thoroughly + with sanitizer after nappy changes, wiping snot, cleaning puke and clean surfaces they've been on/around with antibac wipes or spray. Hope this helps and don't worry, everything will be alright xx
