I totally agree. sometimes we as mothers have to make a choice ourselves. Doctor sometimes only see the $$$$$ and not the problem. Also all they can do is diagnose. sometime they are wron too. But I think that you should get a 2nd opinonion and get that boy better before its too late. fever means infection and although the antibiotics are presents there must be another problem present. good luck!

I get migraines and have actually had a hemmorage in my pituitiary and that kind of headache and a migraine are totally different.  As for having an episode where she lost abilities it sounds like she had some sort of loss that caused a lack of oxygen to the brain which would explain the "visions" of seeing relatives that are already passed.  Lack of oxygen can cause damage to the brain where the affected are can be speech and motor skills that would have to be relearned.  Your mother is in my prayers.  I have son with Cerebral Palsy so motor disorders and delays are well understood by me.  I know the strain it can have on the family members.  God bless!!  \nMegan

I think you should seek a second opinion.  Sometimes pediatricians are quick to dismiss b/c they see so many of the same things all the time.  It could be something more serious (though I have no idea).  A friend of mine is in the process of getting over an extremely rare disease, and he wasn't properly diagnosed until he was taken to one of the best hospitals in the country.  Sometimes it takes some insistence and a clean pair of eyes to get to the root of the problem.  Best of luck with your kids!

It sounds like you need to get her to a doctor, if she isn't already seeing one.  If she won't listen to you, get the help of an older relative that she trusts.

I would say she needs help. If she is not doing this to her self deliberately, then she could have a very serious medical condition. She needs to see a doctor soon. Not sure on her age, but it may help to talk to her parents about this no matter how old she is. You need help with her. Please make her see a doctor. She is lucky she has someone who cares so much.

oh i feel so sorry for your little one! that's way too long to be sick. and a fever of 104 is extremely high which can be dangerous. when my daughter was 16 months, her fever got so high she had a seisure. the doctor said very high fevers can cause brain damage. you should give your daughter motrin which will really knock that fever out for alot longer period of time than tylenol. i have had several doctors tell me over the years that you can give motrin and tylenol at the same time. i really hope she gets well real soon. i will say a prayer for her as soon as i'm done typing this. oh geeze i just realized you said may 19, i thought it said may 6! so it's been about 4 days, hang in there. a month ago my 4 year old son was sooooo sick for 4 days, high fevers, vomiting, i was so scared i took him to ER twice and the clinic once. it was just something i had to wait out and let it take it's course.

Hi.. I would suggest that you go to your family doctor and let them know of your concerns.  There might be something wrong with her or it could be her imagination... I work as a LPN on a psychiatric unit  but we only have adults here and I don't have that much experience dealing with children but I think that the first step for you would be to get her to you family DR ASAP. \nI hope that everything works out for you.

no i havent. I'd get it checked out asap, something else is probably causing it. See if yer mom has had problems with hers, it could run in the family.

she might have a rash, which is normal for little kids to get. Most likely she has a yeast infection. No matter what, go to the pediatrician and maybe get her on some antibiotics.

I kind of went through the same thing when I was little.  Every day I would take my temperature about 3 times before school because I was so afraid to go if someone was to throw up.  Last year, I was so afraid to get skin cancer that I would constantly check myself for any symptoms, but I was too afraid to go to a dermatologist.  They were basically stemming from  a form of paranoia, and that might be what your daughter has.  Its just an idea, though.  Otherwise, maybe you should take her to a pediatrician instead of a hospital, since those are used more for emergencies.  I think she's at an age when shes realizing the importance of her health and safety .. plus, her body is going through a lot of changes, and she might not know what is healthy and what is not.

Take her to a doctor.  It's possible that she has an infection of some sort.  It's also possible that she's acting out because of some sort of trauma (stress, abuse, being abandoned by her parents).  This isn't normal behavior for a healthy 9-yr-old.\n\nGood luck!

sounds like a spider to me I'd call the doctor first and he can tell you like if it is severe enough to go to the doc. If it was like a brown recluse then she will definately need to go. My husbands little cousin had the same thing happen to her and they had to cut out the infection. So just keep an eye on it and I'm sure your little one will be fine.\n\nAnd you are not a bad mother, it really makes me mad when people say stuff like that on here. If you were a bad mother you wouldn't be asking anyone, so you just keep doing what you are doing honey and forgot all those other people who are acting like kids on here.

Not everyone gets it hun. You may be lucky and already be immune to it if you have been in close contact to someone who had it, eg a sibling. And it's not just young kids who get it... I had it aged 26!!

Some think it's caused by a virus and causes your facial nerve to swell where it exits your skull behind the ear, and this blocks the nerve from transmitting until the swelling goes down. It can be treated with a steroid for the inflamation, and an anti viral for the suspected cause, but should be done as soon to the onset as possible. I had it for about a month, but sometimes it can last quite a bit longer. She needs to get eyedrops or ointment so her eye doesn't dry out (at night especially) since she won't be able to blink or close her eye until it runs its course. Good luck to you both!

My daughter had the same thing happen at the age of 6.  She woke in the middle of the night crying and said her ear hurt, I put her back in bed and in the morning she had blood coming from her ear.  I felt horrible.  The doctor said that she must have had an ear infection but was not complaining until it was ready to burst.  The cause was believed to be water in the ear from the shower which caused bacteria to grow very fast.  Kids sometimes don't complain much until it is really bad.  After this we had to use ear plugs when she swam or showered.  Also we used a product made for swimmers ear which helps dry the ear out.  She is now twenty and still has problems with the same ear.

My friend's son is a quad r/t a car accident. He has a low blood pressure all the time but I never heard of him complain of any head itching. He had a lot of bladder problems, like frequent infections, then they clipped the urinary spincter so he can wear a condom catheter at all times, instead of an indwelling urinary catheter. Urine constantly leaks into the condom cath.  He still has infections but not as many. The problem with them doing this is that if he ever was able to have a sex life, which he still has the desire to do, then it is a problem with urine constantly leaking out. He was only 16 when this accident happened, now he's 25, and he had never experienced sex.  He can't even cough and remove secretions on his own whenever he gets a cold .Really it's so sad & he amazes me with his positive attitude. He is able to do a little with his hands and move his arms, but not able to perform fine motor movements. He can use a special fork to feed himself, and can use a device placed on his hand to type on the computer. He dials the phone with his tongue and answers it the same way, with a special device on the phone that helps him hook it on his hand. He went to college and got a degree in computer programming a couple of years ago but hasn't been able to get employment yet. Another thing I hear him complain about is muscle spasms for which he takes medications These can occur if he changes position, exposed to temperature changes & sometimes for no reason. He takes medication for that and something to prevent bladder/kidney infections. That's all the meds that I know of that he takes. I hope this info helps. These are things I saw first hand and things he talked to me about.
