I have a 2 year old DD and a 10 month old DS. We have all had constant colds and bugs over the last 2 weeks and DS has started teething.
I had terrible anxiety after I had DD - checking she was breathing 10 times a night, constant trips to the doctors etc. I felt that because we had infertily and many losses we had somehow cheated nature and she would be taken away from me.
I managed to work through it and have been much better with DS. However, I've just got him up as he was distraught ( he usually sleeps 12 hours) and his temp is 38.1. He has had ibroprofen and is now looking a little brighter but still with a temp.
However, his feet are freezing. This led me to google and I found it was a symptom of meningitus. All my old anxiety came flooding back and I am a sobbing mess.
It's made worse by the fact that I am supposed to be leaving him tomorrow for the first time with my mum overnight (trust her completely) while I take my DD to Peppa Pig World. I feel I need to cancel.
He doesn't seem to have a rash but has generally blotchy skin anyway.
Would I know if it was something serious???
