Is it worth going to a doctor

Question

my daughter who is 10 has done nothing but sleep all day and night for over a week.She has a slight fever and complains very occasionally of a headache nausea and also a tummy ache she doesn't have any swollen glands but she is of her food but is thirsty.I don't want to go to a doctor as I think they will tell me its a virus and there is nothing they can do.

Answer 1

Take you daughter to see a doctor who will examine her and do various tests.

Even if it turns out that there is nothing radically wrong with her apart from a possible virus she has caught, at least, as a mother, you will have peace of mind.

Hope your daughter is well again soon.

Answer 2

Is'nt your childs health worth it to you? Thats the first question you should have asked your self... Why would you even take the chance....

Answer 3

if you are very worried and can afford it, go private. This does not sound normal....and any doctor who thinks it might be should be struck off!!

Answer 4

This is not normal behaviour, you need to take her to the doctors :)

Answer 5

Trust your instincts - you know her better than anyone else. If she doesn't seem right then it's better to take her to the doctor and for the doctor to say that it'll pass than not to.

It sounds like you already know what to do anyway - go with that.

Answer 6

YES get her to a Dr!

Answer 7

If it was a virus it would have left her body now.  Take her to the doctors.

Answer 8

yes , you need to take her to a doctor as you are clearly worried as you are asking about it , do it, it will clear your mind

Answer 9

Well, first of all if she has been sleeping for over a week, "all day and night" then she must be pretty dehydrated, starving, and barely able to walk or talk.  I think you're exaggerating just a bit so I don't think anyone can really help on-line.  You need to be more specific and accurate.

Take her to the doctor.
