A mum has shared her grief after her seven-year-old daughter came home from school with “the sniffles” but died a day later.

Clare Louise, 54, lost her daughter, Annaliese, in the summer of 2018 after she woke up with a cold. The following day, Clare picked up her daughter from school early as she was “quite lethargic” and her hip was hurting.

Clare took Annaliese to her GP and the hospital, where she was discharged after having tests, but the following day she was “crying with pain”, and had diarrhoea and “mottled” thighs.

Clare quickly took Annalise to hospital and her condition began to worsen – she arrived at the hospital at 10am and by 1pm she died with a serious strep A infection that turned into sepsis.
