I’m sorry to hear your daughter is not feeling well. Have you talked with her doctor? We’re you able to get her an appointment?

Our doctors is so hard to get appointments at , so we have too ring at 8am too make an emergency one . Was just posting too see if anybody knew what could be the cause

It's very common for kids to pick up bugs around back to school time, could that be it?

For something like a cold, you can speak to your pharmacist. They'll also be able to advise at what point diarrhoea becomes a GP visit, as I'm not sure what the cut off is. GP surgeries are very much trying to direct people to the pharmacy first though.

Thank you

I hope you’ve found some medical advice today. If not, you could try calling the NHS 111 service for advice.

I hope your daughter feels well soon. Sounds like a very unpleasant bug whatever it is.

Best wishes.
