DS2 has been a bit off colour for a week or two, he has autism and mild cerebral palsy so its not that easy for him to reliably tell us how he is feeling. So given these symptoms do you think its just a virus that will run its course or should I subject us all to a trip to the doctors, something that he really doesn't cope with very well at all.
Severe headache - on& off but worse over the last couple of days, was rolling around the floor when his last lot of paracetamol wore off.
Dizziness especially when standing/walking
Neck hurts, I think he means his throat as he is more indicating the side & front but his throat doesn't look inflamed.
Chest pain, he has regular medicine for reflux so I think it is just reflux does seem worse at meal times
Pain in arm & wrist
Mouth ulcers, he has about 4 or 5 at the moment, again he does tend to get ulcers.
He swings from looking flushed to really pale & washed out.
He is however eating and drinking OK & does not seem to have a fever at all.
So shall I watch and wait or attempt to get him to the docs?
