Had DS (4) to the GP yesterday as he soiled himself at school. He's done this a few times in the past week - 3 times at least. He previously was suspected of having constipation and leakages and given medicine to help. The accidents had stopped. I wondered if he was constipated again. He has had a few "loose movements" this week too.
He has also had a tickly/barking cough. GP checked him over, said she didnt think he was particularly constipated but because of his cough and snotty nose, it may be upsetting his stomach. She also said she did not suspect a virus.
DS was coughing last night in bed and I got him to sit up. At which point he was sick all over his bed. He's never been sick.
He was sick again a short while after.
He seemed OK this morning and was fine through the night but would flit between being fine and whiney so we decided to keep him off school just incase he feels rotten.
Called school and explained he'd coughed and made himself sick, that the GP didnt suspect a virus but we would keep him off today and if all ok, he'd be back in tomorrow. The receptionist seemed a bit hesitant at me saying he'd likely be back tomorrow if all ok.
So, would you send him in, or not?
