DS age 5 (and the others but not as bad) has had a cough for 4 weeks, it's got to the point where the last 3 nights he hasn't slept as it's worse at night. Done the talk to the pharmacist/ glycerol/ honey water and the usual but it's left him wrecked with no sleep. He used to have this a few years back and only an inhaler would clear it
So GP has to be an emergency appt, as it's well over a week for a normal appt, nearly 2 weeks. I'd wait a few days but 2 weeks isn't fair on him...
They've introduced a new nurse triage. AIBU this is going to be hellish with three kids 5 and under who are all unwell to some level (baby has a horrific vax fever too and the frustrated non-verbal 3 yr old is in a foul mood with her cold) where we wait for ages to see someone then either get fobbed off or wait ages for a GP again whilst all they lose it in the waiting room?
Has anyone had a positive experience of this new system?

To be dubious about a 'triage nurse' appt?
