Hi all,
Just after a bit of advice! Jacob has been poorly for over two weeks with a bad cold, sore throat and chesty cough. I've had him to the emergency doctors twice (once on a Sunday then a Tuesday night). The first time the doctor thought it was a viral infection and gave us a prescription for antibiotics to get a few days later if he got worse. Anyway, he did get worse but hubby said he wanted him checking out again before we gave him the antibiotics as they is no point pumping him full of antibiotics if it was a viral infection. So we went back to the doctors again and this time he had a high temperature of 38.4 which I couldn't get down! The doctor still thought it might be viral but said as he had got worse he should have a short course of antibiotics just in case.
So after 5 days of Amoxicillin he did improve, he started eating well again and his chest sounded better. Last night however he was up crying most of the night (which is not like him) and he's got a high temperature again His chest still sounds rattly! Do you think I should get him into see our GP today? Hubby said just see how he goes I'm worried the doctor will think i'm a neurotic mother but his high temp is concerning me. It was 37.6 after Calpol this morning
What would you ladies do?
