After hearing that Ellie's swelling should have gone down I decided to take her back to the doctor. Obviously it wasn't practical to drive all the way to Hobart to see Doctor Kimble, so instead I made us an appointment with Doctor Naiker.
I should have saved my time. He had a quick look at her mouth and pulled her lip around, before saying that it's probably fine. His only suggestion was to come back in two weeks and see how it's going. He didn't even bother to address the redness and weeping in her nose.
I should know by now that Doctor Naiker is not the greatest when it comes to more specialised problems. But seeing as we are so far from our specialists, and it takes weeks to get in to our paediatrician, there's not much we can do about it.
