DS3 who is exactly 2½ today has been under the weather for a couple of weeks really - he's had a rash around his bottom, on and off temperatures, just not right. Then a few days ago he developed what I thought was constipation, although now I think that it's more that it is hurts to poo (sorry if tmi) rather than the poo itself as it's as normally sloppy as DS3's tend to be. So he's had a couple of swabs done at the doctors this afternoon for possible perianal streptoccoccal dermatitis.
Anyhow, this may be unrelated but, on tuesday he ran a temperature all day, yesterday he was fine, and today he was fine until he woke up from his afternoon nap and was screaming and clutching his head and saying "sore head". Well he didn't stop crying until we got into the doctors for the swabs to be done just before 5. I mentioned the temperature headache thing and she checked him over and said that it just seemed to be a virus and not to worry.
When we got home he sat on the sofa quietly crying and looking forlorn. Then around an hour ago he started really crying again, was sick, and then sat clutching his head and saying "sore head" and "bed".
So we put him in bed and he has fallen asleep immediately, but i'm in a quandry over what to do. I've never had a child complain so young of a headache, and I'm just a bit worried although at the same time don't want to over-react.
Any thoughts please??
