Irritable 7 Month Old

by Desperate Mother
(WI)

My daugther woke up Saturday with a fever, the told me to give her tylenol or motrin to break the fever. She slept and ate fine all day Saturday. Sunday she woke up very irritable, she didnt'want to eat and her fever was down. She was fussy, crying, screaming, didn't want to eat, sleep nothing all day Sunday. Monday she was fine, back to her normal happy baby. Tuesday she was back to the way she was on Sunday. She ate a total of 4 oz. all day.

I finally took her in because I was feeling too helpless letting her sit and scream and no being able to help. They checked her ears, throat, body, gums and temperature. They couldn't find anything wrong.

I also asked them if they thought it could be from a concern we've had for many months but they don't seem to be concerned...we thought maybe she was in pain because she's having troubles being able to have a bm. She Screams for a good 45 minutes every time she goes (at least once per day) and tenses her whole body up so you can't move her while she is having a BM. We asked if that could be from her being so irritable they said no.

I asked to have an x-ray or ultrasound or something done to make sure there was nothing being missed in the inside that we couldn't see or tell was wrong. They said they can't do one of them because it's really nothing. What could this possibly be?

They have ruled out gas pains, sore throat, ear infection, flu/cold, teething EVERYTHING! We are so lost on what to do with are irritable and non eating baby girl. Please help!!!!
