My 2 year old was coughing a lot around bedtime, then woke coughing and vomited around 10pm. She hasn't been sick since and is now asleep in bed with me and the laptop while I catch up on work.
She feels hot, which is not unusual as she is always a hot-body, but prob a bit hotter than usual (no point taking her temp as she is asleep it would be inaccurate wouldn't it?) Was naked but started shivering (even though hot to touch) so is now in a PJ top.
Anyway I am knackered and need to go to sleep, but before I do, would you wake her up to make her have some ibuprofen? She roused a little 30 mins or so ago but didn't want any medicine and I thought forcing it down might make her sick again anyway...
Sorry, am tired, rambling and ridiculously indecisive, random internet strangers please tell me what to do!
