Urgent Help Please

[mikaylasmummy]

Mikayla has been crying non stop for the last 2 hrs, I have tried feeding, burping, playing rocking to sleep shower, grpe water, panadol, nothingat all seems to be working to help her calm down. We do not have a car so we can't even go to the hospital..

Any advice please

First thing, how old is she ?

[sueliz]

How old is she? Does she actually have a temp?
Any signs of teethng? Anything new in her diet?

[mikaylasmummy]

Sorry I forgo themain parts out, she is 3 months old, no change in diet, no temp.
I think that she may be teething but every has told me that she is way too young,,,
If it is teething what can I use for it, the chemist is closed now so that really limits wat I can use

I'd ring 13HEALTH. If it turns out it's something urgent they can order an ambulance to take you and her to the hospital.

Could it be reflux?

I would try holding her upright and massaging her back in an upwards motion. Not too hard obviously, but sometimes this helps 'guide' stubborn wind out.

If you think it is teething then perhaps soak a washer in boiled water and then put this in the freezer for her to chew on to help soothe her gums.

I agree with also phoning 13HEALTH to see what they have to say and if you are really worried, can you phone some medical centres to see if they provide a service of sending a doctor out to you?

Thankyou for your help everyone DP go home at 6.30 picked her u and not even 20secs later she fell asleep in his arms... grrrr she is driving me nuts lol
I thought that babys don't get clingy until about 8 or 9 months ahhh well

She may have just had a tummy ache that eased at the same time DP got home?
Dont think it would have been clinginess at this young a age.
Either way glad shes better and hope no more :fingerscrossed:

3 months ain't too young for teething. DD got her first two teeth at 3 months (then had no more until about 9 or so months...lol). 3 months isn't the AVERAGE of first-tooth, but it's not a rarity either.

Call the hospital, let them know. They will probably tell you to come in, or to not come in... they can't offer much advice over the phone.

Is there a late-night chemist near your area?
