ok background first - 7mo PFB (hence the panic)
wednesday - DS off his food and milk, bit grumpy and clingy, throwing up
wed night - up lots with him screaming
thurs - took to dr as worried. dr said he had virus. chest affected, breathing was harder for him than usual. she said keep his temp down and keep offering drinks - little and often and watch out for changes to breathing that look like he's struggling.
thurs night - bit better than wed but still lots of screaming and not drinking oh and throwing up medicine
fri - back to dr to check, same advice. she seemed happy he was not dehydrated as he had 5 wet nappies in 24 hours.
generally a bit happier, drank a little more. wanted to eat in pm but then threw it up
fri night - up every hour or two, lots of screaming, not really drinking
today - not drinking, lots of screaming
i am at the end of my tether. we're doing everything we've been advised to but i don't feel he's getting better.
when do you call the out of hours gp? i think they'll probably say the same but i'm really freaking out.
