What Is The Treatment Of Viral Infection In Children ?
My daughter is 3 in March. In the last 4 weeks she had suffered with a viral infection and a urine infection. 5 days ago she had a fever of 42degrees and was sleeping, having nosebleeds and vomiting. The doctor said it was another viral infection. For the last three days she has slept for the whole day and night, she isn't eating anything and is extremely pale. She's had more nosebleed and is complaining of sore feet and belly. Her stomach feels hard on the left side. She has a slight cough.
She see her GP yesterday who prescribed antibiotics and said she had a chest infection and swollen glands. It just doesn't seem right to me, she has slept all day again today and has no energy and has had a nosebleed that lasted for about 15 minutes....maybe I'm just being a worried mum but do these symptoms sound like anaemia or leukemia. I'm really worried about her but don't seem to get anywhere with the doctors.

Hi.
I completely understand your worry and I do empathize with you. I feel your child needs atleast a basic investigation to see her blood counts and infection parameters. If the country you reside permits self investigation,please go ahead and do the following tests..
Complete blood counts and smear,ESR,liver function parameters, PT,patients and urine microscopic analysis including biochemical analysis (urine dipstick).
If the above is not possible, please do consult a pediatrician at any tertiary health set up and also an ENT specialist to rule out local causes of nose bleed.
I'll be happy to help you further in this regard.
