DD has been ill since Saturday night. Started with croup (cough, wheeze, high temp, runny nose), that had eased by Monday night.
Tuesday she was much perkier but still had temp (we are talking between 38.3 & 39.7 over these 3 days).
Wednesday temp was down to 37.7 but she vomited and was very still, pale & sleepy. Took to the doc. Doc said chest was clear, ears clear probably virus, either developed from croup or caught it because she was run down.
Hasn't vomited since Weds morning.
Yesterday she was perky again but temp did go back up to 38.8 towards early evening. Temp went down to 36.5 during the night & was back up to 37.7. Just checked her temp again & it's 38.3...
She is still happy, playing, but throughout this week she has been off her food - eats a bit but not her usual gobble it all down. Still coughing.
So, do I just leave it because she seems happy in herself, or call the doc to see what he thinks about the temp? DH thinks leave it & says we could always take her to OOH tomorrow if need be.
