I took my 8 month old into hospital yesterday as he had a few spots appear on his bed and belly ( red/ dark purple tinge to it) but doctors said he was other wise fine so put it down to his eczema( the posts do not fade when glass pressed at all). I trusted that the doctors knew what the were talking about but I am also severely unwell! Raging sore throat, fever chills stiff neck & experiencing dizziness! All the Symptoms of meningitis; my only problem is we do not live near a hospital well 40 mins car drive and about 50 mins bus drive I don't drive kids dad is away on a fishing trip 7 hours away so he's no help. No buses are operating when I live I can't get a bloody taxi! I'm unwell and I'm worried about my baby should I phone 999? I've been on hold for 3 hours with 111 & not getting anywhere. What would you do ?
