When they're so busy already?
He's had a temp of 38.5 for 24 hrs. It barely comes down with calpol and ibuprofen (to 38ish and that's it).
He's got no appetite, is pale and whingy- but no other symptoms. I suspect ears are infected (again) but no idea really.
I'm hyper cautious because last year we had a 4 month run of ill health, during which he had 4 separate bouts of bacterial tonsillitis (it was just chronic tonsillitis, really by the end), bronchiolitis, hand foot and mouth, croup, 2 ear infections, 2 generic colds and a stomach bug- one after another, and some simultaneously. We ended up at A&E with frightening temps, rashes and awful symptoms (bloody stools?!) more times than I can count, because he red flagged for sepsis.
I'm a LP (although ExDP here this weekend) and can't take any more time off work (I almost lost my job last time I had to for his ill health)- so getting him well fast is absolute priority for me - for himself, yes, but also for our sake more broadly.
AIBU or overreacting using the OOH service during a winter crisis?
