2.6 year old has high temp 39.5, fast breathing 70 bpm and sounds chesty and grunting- given inhaler helped audible wheeze go but still chesty sounding - gave calpol at 11.30 he threw up straight after (always does, very hard to give medicine to) - DH says wait till morning, I am not sure if his breathing should wait that long - if we ring 111 they either send an ambulance (no need) or take 2 hours to call you back depending on how you answer first questions - we have a good children's A&E but maybe he can wait - DH had said we should give him 30 mins to see if something improves which is why I am distracting myself - will probably just self refer but always feel like I overreact and DH is too calm...
Anyway this has become a bit of a ramble rather than a question - it is so hard, if he just had high temp it would be fine or just sounded chesty - it's the combo and fact he won't take calpol - 111 may be happy medium...
