Spotting the signs of Sepsis
Sepsis can affect anyone – but the signs in children can be different to those in adults. For those under five years, sepsis warning signs can include:
- Not feeding/eating
- Vomiting repeatedly
- Not passing urine for 12 hours
- Fast breathing
- Experiencing a ‘fit’ or convulsion
- A rash that doesn’t fade when you press it
- Abnormally cold to touch
- Acting lethargic or difficult to wake
Knowing the signs could save a life. If you see the above symptoms in a child, seek urgent medical advice via your GP, 111 or in an emergency, 999. For further information, visit the Sepsis Trust website.
