She has felt quite warm for the past 3 days now (yesterday she felt cool but she has begun to feel warm again today). She is sleeping alot and although she is drinking a bit it's not as much as she used to. There are no spots or rashes on her body but she seems generally unwell and weary.
She's got an appointment today but I'm so worried.
What could be wrong?

Sounds like a general virus, Don't worry to much,if a rash comes out do the tumbler test (roll over the spots if they disappear then fine if not get to a hospital straight away)
Check hands/feet, if feels stone cold but the rest of her is hot, seek medical advice, if she has aversion to bright lights, seek medical advice , if her legs & arms ache and hurt her to bend, seek medical advice as all are signs of menningitus.
There are soooo many Viruses going around now.
My kids ALL have chicken pox at the moment (great) but it just shows you, healthy kids get unwell!
See the doctor and get it sorted!
Good luck, hope she feels well again soon.

It is very normal for you to worry anytime a child is not herself. It is probably not the best idea for you to try to diagnose this as it will worry you more and that is best left to a Doctor. It is good you have an appointment today and it is very important that you tell the Doctor your concerns and all the symptoms you observed. It would be great if you could take the babies temperature if you have one of those custom thermometers (like through the ear) so you can see if there is any high fever. If the child is just slightly warm than hopefully it is just a cold or mild flu causing the warm skin. It could be a mild urinary infection (common from diapers) that can be easily cleared up with medication. It is very important to keep liquids going under these circumstances and closely monitor her until you get to the doctor. I feel that everything will be alright but just keep a close check on her until you get to the Doctor. I am not trying to worry you more at all but if the baby has a high temp or other issues develop call the Doctor (no matter what hour) and take the baby to the Children's ER if need be.
I wish you all the best and GOD Bless

Do you have a thermometer? Rather than just saying she's "warm" you need to actually take her temperature. The grade of her temperature and what it's been doing will give the doctor a better idea of how to treat her. Also, you should be monitoring her actual temperature anything approaching 104 degrees F and you should go to the ER because that is when serious things start to happen.
Not trying to scare you, just trying to stress that saying she's "warm" isn't smart. Kids are generally hotter than they feel to the touch so it's important to monitor it with an actual thermometer.

This is one of those horrible ones, could be nothing could be something until a doctor sees her you're not going to know for sure.
It could be the start of something, general bug kind of thing but I completely get where you're coming from. Having little ones is a stressful job.
My son, even at 9, when he goes down with a bug will come out in a rash as soon as the bug gets into his system. I've lost count of the number of times I've taken him to the doctors because of it, usually fairly confident it's nothing then his temperature spikes and I'm worried sick I've missed something serious.
Good luck and I hope it's nothing.

She probably has a little infection. All a fever is is the body's way of fighting it off. If it were serious, she would be burning hot to the touch. But make sure she drinks plenty of water so that she doesn't get dehydrated.
You've made the doctor's appointment, so don't worry too much. They'll tell you what you need to know.

She's in basic terms finding for some extra beneficial convenience from Mum as her ecosystem has replaced unexpectedly. it incredibly is a great deal having a clean mattress at 2 yrs previous. the protection of 'your mattress' is a few thing we in many circumstances forget approximately as we become previous in spite of the incontrovertible fact that we specifically situations adventure it mildly as quickly as we return homestead from trip. in case you have re-embellished her room too you have in actuality bumped off each and every little thing that became common! i does not subject too a lot nonetheless-in basic terms cuddle her a lot and return her gently to her mattress if she gets out and she or he'll quickly be back to her familiar sleeping by using recurring. stable success!

Could be anything - you could give Calpol to reduce her temperature if she has one, and it will generally make her feel better, but the doctor is the best place.
Good luck - just getting over an ear infection with my 16 month old *yawns with total exhaustion*!!

It sounds like a virus. At least you have the docs appointment and the fact she is drinking at least something is a very good sign. It will pass and she will be back to her normal self.
