Ds (2) has been ill for the last week, running a temp on and off, lethargic when he has a temp, cold, streaming nose and a cough.
Took him to the drs yesterday, nothing on his chest, throat sore but clear, probably has a viral infection causing the cough/cold. Also may have an ear infection for which he got anti biotics.
He has always been a bit prone to coughs, and they have always been horrible horrible sounding coughs, even when he's not been particularly unwell in himself. Ie the kind of coughs that make people turn and stare in horror in the street (yes this has happened) however this cough is just beyond awful, mainly for its persistence. He just cannot stop coughing. Literally. I put him to bed last night, he slept from 8-10, then started coughing, woke and came in with me and coughed solidly from 10-5. I kid you not. And this has been pretty much what's it's been like every night for the last week. He is coughing a lot in the day but not for such prolonged periods.
Now here is the worst bit - we fly to Florida on Monday.
