CM CLUB: Advice on taking a child who is unwell (teething issues)

4 replies

He is listless, has a fever that comes and goes and having really really really bad nappies (went through 6 changes of clothes in 2 days last week, in the 10 hours I had him) I wont have any other kids in the AM, when he is due to be here, so lots of time to sit and cuddle him like he wants. I saw him this morning and doesnt seem to be any better than last week.

Should I take him? (Obv I dont know for sure its not a virus, but strongly suspect its just teething issues)

Hi, does sound like teething to me but perhaps you could ask parents to take him to the GP to rule out other causes for safety of other mindees?

They took him to doctors last night - it is a bug.

And at 4am my DD started taking symptoms. Will chalk this up to experience, huh?!
