anyone else had this bug?

[dinny]

raging high temp, bad throat, cough - ds has had it for over a week and is miserable.

ds has had it (was a very poorly, unhappy boy), dh has it and poor little dh is miserable with it.

[thecattleareALOHing]

poor little DD! Dh is 6'4"!

[Epiffany]

yes dd had it three weeks ago, she got tonsilitis on top, she was ok but then got a tummy bug and now she has still got a cough and runny nose.
I got tonsilitis and the cough too, as did DP, ds escaped but he did get the tummy bug.

[dinny]

Aloha?

good name, I cannot summon energy to think of one.

[dinny]

yep, Epifany, dr put ds on antibios as said he has throat infection (tonsilitis, presumambly)

bloody bugs! was your dd's temp scarily high? ds's been up to just under 41 at night

[Epiffany]

yes dd went up to 40 as well, she always gets high temps but copes ok.

[thecattleareALOHing]

Yes, tis me! DD is on antibiotics for her throat. Dr also said sounded like croup. She was up most of the night poor ba.Temp a bit high but we are controlling with calpol/nurofen

[Enideepmidwinter]

dh and dd2 have had the cough/throat

me and dd2 have had the tummy bug (poor dd2!)

dd1 has escaped all but looked knackered and was tearful this am so expecting the worst

[christmasdinnyer]

thanks for that, SCF! excellent idea!

ds's cough sounds croupy. do you need to take then to dr (again?!)

[christmasdinnyer]

God, scary stuff. Poor ds2.

Sympathy. DD had croup in September, horrid indeed - we were lucky, it was fairly mild and we treated it at home with a humidifier and lots of reassurance, but I wish it was something that never came back. Wishing all the littlies well soon...
