Could get DS seen today most probably - has had a temp since the middle of the night Tuesday leading into Wed so he has been off school wed thur fri, temp between 38.5 and 39.8, constantly coughing, not eating at all but trying his best to drink - just the constant coughing he keeps bringing it back up at times. He says nothing hurts but he isn't moving at all and his breath stinks like a chemical of some sort.
I don't want to drag him to docs for them to say, yup a virus but at the same time don't want to leave him if he needs something. The doctor we'd get to see is rather abrupt. DS is 5 and currently asleep next to me on the settee, snoring and sounding like a rabid dog
