DS1(18) had this last weekend, then his throat felt raw, and he has had a hacking cough, really bad cold, shivers, aches and pains all week! He has managed 2 days at school.
DS2(16)started to come down with it on Wednesday night, but had to go to school yesterday because he has science GCSE work. He is coughing like he is on 50 a day, he is asthmatic, and I had to change his bed twice last night because he was sweating so much!
It's nasty!

I wondered that artic she has picked up somewhat now though. I can hear her mooching around now when she's meant to be asleep!

Sorry don't mean to alarm you!
Probably not pneumonia but just to bear it in mind.
Hope she is well soon .

My Ds had similar . It was silent pneumonia , no cough. High temp,sore abdomen etc.
Get it checked out as Ds ended up in hospital for two weeks as he was undiagnosed for 3 weeks.

Oh that sound exactly the same! Even the abdo pain. Saw dr today and chest is clear just weird virus. She is totally exhausted poor baby can hardly walk with weakness.
Have sent 3 kids home with v similar this week. Aching chest/ upper abdomen, high temp but not real cough. Wiped out! They seem to be off for about 3 days with it.
Hope she feels better soon.

Yes I will do but the symptoms are so odd I thought I'd get opinions while I wait for the callback. Thank you.

If she is poorly and you are worried call doctor or MHD direct. Not mumsnet
That sounds just like pleurisy as I understood it?

No there's no sharp pain just a soreness to the chest when she tried to cough or breathe deeply. Just waiting for paracetamol to work. Never seen her this poorly.
I don't think it sounds like classic pleurisy by the way but was the only thing I could think of really

Dd is 11 and has felt rough all day. She looks very pale and has a sore chest with no cough.
She has now got a temperature of 39 and a headache.
I'm quite worried as she's never ill.
Just thought it was odd to have the sore chest with no cough or cold.
