My DS1 has had a temperature since this morning and also a slight cough.
However, his cough is painful he says and he seems to be trying to hold it in all the time. it does look like he is in pain when he coughs.
No other symptoms apart from loss of appetite.
Is the dreaded Swine Flu or is he brewing a chest infecton? Don't know whether to bother the doctors if it is swine flu as there isn't anything we can do except sit it out but what if it isn't?
DS2 also at home with a high temperature and a sore throat. He seems on the mend though, having had yesterday off too.
I have an exam next Wednesday so I want them all to just go away so I don't get ill and I can revise.
