Hardly ate yesterday.
Slept for 13hours last night. (Normally 11).
Napped today for 3hours and then napped on and off all afternoon (another 3). Usually around 2-3hours total naps.
Hardly eaten today.
Temperature going up and down (highest is 40 - atm it's 39.2).
Drowsy in the sense he just wants to lie on you and cuddle, not that I can't wake him. He can move/walk if he needs to.
Wouldn't smile or kiss me (always does this when he hasn't seen me) at 6pm but started to at 8 and is now smiling/laughing.
Heart beating faster than normal (I think).
Earlier he had freezing feet and ankles - like an invisible line then suddenly at shins up gets boiling. (This seems to have now moved to bottom half of body freezing, top half boiling)
Had calpol at 6.30, ibroprofen at 8.30. Temp went down but back up again.
Earlier was shaking.
Drinking water fine but not milk.
He's not had fever before. So I don't know what's normal or not.
We called 111 and they said just keep checking for rashes and alternate calpol and ibroprofen. I'm not entirely happy with that as I know a rash is one of the last signs of meningitis. If it was the morning I would be less worried as I could check on him all through day but I don't want to go to bed and he can deteriorate during night if it's something bad.
Anyway 111 have now booked us an appointment with a GP at the hospital in half hour but now I feel like I'm wasting their time.
If you hadn't guessed he's my pfb.
What would you have done?
