Hi, I’m looking for some advice about my daughter I hope this is okay to post.
Lexi is 3 years 7 months old. She has always loved to drink, but over the last couple of weeks she has been drinking excessively.
I’m talking 600-800mls an hour, she never seems to be satisfied.
She’s started waking up in the night for drinks as well.
She’s been toilet trained for over a year, but the last couple of weeks she’s gone back to wetting herself multiple times a day.
She is usually a very happy, energetic little girl. But she has all of a sudden become very irritable, and lethargic.
I can’t tell whether she has lost weight but she is ALWAYS hungry.
Other things she complains about regularly that i don’t know are relevant: her stomach hurting, and her bits being itchy and sore.
I rang the doctors on Friday as the nursery confirmed they had the same worries as me. To be honest, the doctor made me feel like a crazy mum. She dipped her urine, there was no sugar so told me that my daughter was clearly just incontinent and there was nothing to worry about.
Anyway, her lethargy is getting worse. This afternoon she konked out on the floor, and she was very difficult to rouse. She’s also had 3 accidents today and has not been herself at all. I’ve rang my doctors back and they’ve made me a routine appointment on the 20th.
But I jus wanted to know - should I push for her to be seen sooner? If she had no sugar in her urine does that mean she definitely doesn’t have diabetes? I’m completely lost and I see my daughter getting iller and iller and I don’t know what to do.
Any advice would be appreciated.
