My son is 5 years old and in reception, ever since the kids went back to school after Christmas he's been catching bugs back to back, ive taken him to several different GPs and wasn't happy with just the it's viral answer. His symptoms are:
Swollen neck glands
Persistent cough (worse at night)
Stuffy nose
Tiredness
Leg pain (gp said could be growing pains)
Headaches
Fever for 4 days this week
I've finally found a Dr who also agreed that it has gone on too long and started him on amoxicillin, saline spray for stuffy nose and ordered a blood test to be on the safe side.
Is this normal do kids usually stay sick this long? (7 weeks)
I don't remember this happening when my daughter was in reception. 😔
Btw I've googled his symptoms and pretty much scared the living daylights outta myself which is why I've been taken him to the drs so often.
