I don't know what to do really. My dd is 5 and had a very sudden onset of fever last night, along with a very barky cough, headache and general yuckness. I suspected swine flu tbh and called the GP who said to bring her in (the surgery was deserted btw, never seen it so empty), looked in her ears, throat listened to her chest and said, no just a cold. She did have a very high temp though so he sent us home with calpol and nurofen. For the last 2 hours she has been crying with the pain of her throat She can't open her mouth for me to have a look, she says it hurts too much, and her cough is back and much worse. Temperature also not going down. So what do I do???
