Hi. My 11yo old coeliac DS started with a sore throat last week (Sunday / Monday). That lasted a couple of days before an awful snotty nose and cough ensued. FF to yesterday, and he was still coughing; his chest and stomach were sore and he was very hot overnight. The paramedic we saw at the GP surgery said she was confident that it wasn't a chest infection, and that he should improve over the next few days. She said if he gets worse / stays the same, then to go back to the docs.
He's had really barely any appetite since last Monday, and has had tummy and headaches (headaches only since Monday this week).
Today, my poor boy had a bad tummy ache and today has been vomiting non-stop. He said he still has a bad tummy and headache as well as diarrhoea, and he's exhausted. He did mention that someone in his class vomited on Tuesday.
Does this sound like one bug rolling into another? He is a lean lad anyway, and has lost weight due to having no appetite. Should I give him until Monday and see how he goes before going back to the GP? Do coeliacs usually take much longer to recovery from bugs / sicknesses?
