Protect minor cuts and grazes with TCP SPRAY PLASTER. For life’s little accidents and emergencies, use TCP CREAM or OINTMENT to soothe pain and fight infection. And don’t forget to keep TCP HAND FOAM with you at all times to clinically clean hands without water.
gecko has just had an awful thing that was making her cough so much she was sick and the coughing was the worst in the night, was awful but the doc just said viral cold/cough thing lasted about a week, she is still coughing now but not in the night and not maling herself sick
took her to the doc again yesterday to check her chest again and now she is on antibiotics for a chest infection hope your little on doesn't develop a chest infection
I suggest you get another thermometer, as if he had a temp of 34.1 he would most probably be dead. That is not a temp compatible with life so your thermometer is not working.
I sympathise as my 10mth old dd has been back and forth to the docs so many times in the last few weeks with a viral cough/cold.
I think it was the battery being low that made it go wrong.
He has had a couple of crackers and some toast earlier and is now eating soup and bread. He is a bit more whiney than normal but he will have a sleep soon and that always helps. He is so rarely poorly, it is awful when he is. So little.
Theres a nasty sickness and diarrhoea bug going about,my DD1 age 3.10 has it I think,her temps been around 38.8-39.1,Ibuprofen(Calprofen or Nurofen) works better to control Temps,but you can give it with Calpol if needed.keep cool,but dont strip them,cover with a sheet and not duvet if in bed,don't let them shiver,as this causes "Core temp" to rise.Sips of water and light diet if tolerated,is fine.If they wont eat or drink,see GP as they get dehydrated quickly,or go to chemist and buy Diorolyte,which replaces fluid.Trust your instincts,if no sign of improvement in 48 hours see GP.
