Like, ROASTing hot.
****please read**** it may help, I know it's long, sorry xx
Cay was a big grump all Monday morning. Slept for three hours Monday afternoon (unheard of). When he woke, I lifted him and he was baking (he'd been laying on a bed in just a nappy) so I phoned NHS, took his temp (38.6!!!), gave him nurofen and took him the doctors.
By the time we'd been docs, his temp was 37.3. Hot for him but not unusually so, given the weather.
Tuesday, woke up at 38. Gave nurofen and it went back to 37.3 again. He was alright for most of Tuesday, although grumpy all day.
Wednesday, he was generally hot and bothered, hung around the 37.8 mark all day apart from an hour after nurofen.
Today... Seemed okay this morning, dropped at nursery, phonecall from nursery at 14:30, temp was 39.1!!!!!!!
Back to the doctors, temp check, looked in ears, listened to chest, looked at throat.
Tonsillitis.
Now been given amoxicillin for him, he's had one dose before bed tonight, and we'll see how tomorrow goes.
He's had a horrible dry cough for about three weeks now, but because it was intermittent, not constant, we didn't worry too much, just gave him cough syrup and got on with it. With him starting nursery a coupla weeks ago, we figured he'd just picked up a summer cold.
Apparently, the tonsils are there to help "catch" infection. So, instead of getting something their teeny immune systems can't handle, the tonsils capture and contain the infection.
It's really common in kids for this reason, and less common in adults as their immune systems are more developed.
So, if bubba has a temperature, and a cough, ask doc to check the throat! Xx
