I don't know if it is an olds wives tale... but a wee dash of peppermint water in some water can help break up wind to make it more comfortable. It has always helped with my lot.

Get better soon little lady

When mine have stomach ache, i usually give them a warm bath and stick on comfortable clothes or pyjama's.

We have a wheat bag bear which i usually give them to cuddle.

Its hard at this age as they cant tell us exactly whats wrong.  So we feel helpless.  I hope she is feeling much better this morning and if she is no different tomorrow go back to the gp and maybe discuss changing her antibiotics if she still has a while left on them.  Make sure you mention it to them next time she is perscribed anti biotics as it maybe that she reacts the way you do to the particular one.

Dizie, Joshua has an allergy to pencillin and is intolerant of some other medicines, including tentnus. However when he had his preschool booster he was really unwell and reacted bad to the injection. His dad has an allergy to tetnus which the nurse was well aware of, when I took him back she said because he was having such small doses he didnt react straight away, and it was building up in his system.

It may be that this anti biotic is building up in Ella's system in much the same way. Joshua's penacillin allergy started as intolerance of Flucoxocillin, and then after a few months he reacted to amoxocillin and they said that was also due to a build up in his system.

I'd take her back to the doctors, explain her symptoms, and those that you have with the same medicine. It might be that she needs it changing, and she should avoid that medicine and ingrediant in future.

I hope she is feeling better xxxxxxx
