1 yr old throat infection advice?

[ashtonsmum]

hi my 1 yr old son has been off food, milk for last 2 days hes cranky, tired, wont let anyone he doesnt know come near or touch him even wont let daddy hold him only me, phoned our doc yesterday and he said bring him straight up he said ears and throat were ok but due to his high temp fever and irritability we got sent to a and e last night to check for meningitis sooo scary esp as im pregnant.

well they didnt check his blood or urine the doc checked his ears and throat again and said he had a throat infection which my doc didnt pick up on and he has what looks like an ulcer on back of throat.

well he got given penicillan and has to take calopol and nurofen inbetween, i need advice though he wont let me set him down or leave or anything yet hes still screaming in pain even after medicine, hes not getting enough fluids his nappies havent been very wet today any advice on how to calm him down and get him to drink more fluids?

thanks.
