Opinions please - 5 days of loose nappies
Just wondering if I can gauge peoples opinions please as this is my little one’s first “bug”. Sorry if too much info.
She’s been having loose stools approx. 15 mins after eating once or twice a day for the past 5 days. It’s not every meal and it’s not the same foods/food groups so no pattern with regards to allergies.
She’s been sent home from her first day at nursery today because of it and I’m starting to worry something is going on. I’m meant to be going back to work next week and want her fighting fit so she can go to nursery and enjoy her day there.
Has anyone had experience of an upset tummy for this long with this kind of pattern?
I don’t want to waste the GP’s time getting her checked over if it’s a standard virus. But first time
Mum with no mum of my own to ask advice from.
TIA!

Hey, I took my son to the GP because he had a tummy bug and then his poos just didn’t get any better. Think I gave it a week and then we went but the doctor advised cutting out dairy for a few weeks and see if that works and it did but take her to the GP anyway, see what they say. Even if you feel like it’s a waste of time, at least you’ve got her checked
Thanks Hope your little boy is ok now! x
if you don’t want to go gp go to the pharmacy & ask to speak with a pharmacist & see what they advise. they may say go gp or they may be able to advise further x
Thanks both! We saw the GP today and they’ve requested a sample to send off for testing so that we can get to the bottom of the cause.
If it’s not anything contagious we’ll have something to show nursery so they stop sending her home - meaning I’m not losing pay, wasting nursery fees but she’s also having a full day at a nursery she loves going to!
bless you. Hopefully you get some answers and she’s okay! X
