Lauren Goodger forced to rush daughter, 2, to A&E after toddler ‘struggles to breathe’
LAUREN Goodger has rushed her two-year-old daughter to hospital after noticing she was struggling to breath.
The Towie star shared her nightmare on Instagram this afternoon after spending hours in A&E with Larose.
Larose, who turns three in a couple of days, was admitted with respiratory symptoms last night.
Lauren, 37, told her fans: “My happy girl back in A&E.
“Honestly never known so much illness in short space of time!
“I don’t know what’s wrong but she is coughing, temp and breathing sucking in.
“Three hours down and wow my head and body is aching! Can’t wait to get us home, her birthday in two days.”
The star updated fans today on Larose’s progress and thanked people for checking in with her.
She said: “Thank you everyone for your messages of concern. I’ve been showing and reading them to Larose.
“She has viral tonsillitis (never hear of this one before) so no antibiotics cos it’s ‘viral’ but it’s the breathing that’s worrying me the most.
“We back home but may have go back just sitting with and she’s a happy girl in her self (sic).
“So much to do today for her birthday tomorrow. Needed go out and get bits like wrapping paper and cards and i can’t do much got my baby girl poorly xx Also so much of her presents to set up!”
This comes after Lauren made her huge return to The Only Way is Essex after seven years off the show.
She was one of the original cast of names to help make the ITVBe show the institution we know today.
What is viral tonsillitis?
Most of the time, sore throats are caused by viruses like the common cold, or from inhaling smoke
In some cases a sore throat can be a sign of something more sinister, especially if accompanied with one of the following symptoms.
- A rash
- Very painful
- A fever
- Lasts longer than a week
It’s worth bearing in mind that viral infections, like viral tonsillitis will not clear up with antibiotics.
Bacterial tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotics.
If you have a sore throat and a fever over 38 C, it’s more likely to be a throat infection like tonsillitis than a simple cold.
A sore throat that doesn’t go away could also be a sign of glandular fever, the NHS website explains.
The longtime reality personality originally left the show in 2012 and made a brief return in 2016.
But Lauren left fans absolutely delighted after she returned to the show in emotional fashion.
Before her return, Laure told new! magazine: “All my friends have got jobs and work – most mums do – and I want Larose to see that I’ve got a job too.”
Discussing her first days back on set, Lauren continued: “I wasn’t nervous because Towie’s sort of my home, but I’ve been in a mum bubble so the first day of filming was a complete shock.”
