He said he felt sick about 6pm yesterday, got into bed shivering and said could I put the heating on.

His head hurt and he had a temp of about 38 and a half, so I gave him some nurofen at 7. He went to sleep at 8, temp was down to 37.9 by 9 so I let him sleep.

Seemed OK all night, woke up at 5, headache gone but still felt sick. He was sick about 6am and felt a bit better - he had a few bites of toast, but is now asleep again.

He is 7.
I suppose I wondered if it sounds like just a little bug. Has anyone else's had something like this recently? It's typical to be the last bit of the holidays as we were planning a few special things this week.

I'm just waiting for ds2 to catch it now!

My DD2 (10) had something similar the first few days of the holiday but her temp was up to 39.4 some times. She was only sick once but felt achy all over and weak - we put it down to flu. I even googled swine flu a couple of times as I was convinced she had it.

None of the rest of us caught it though thank goodness.

Hope your DS feels better when he wakes up

Oh thankyou, that is reassuring. I'm glad you managed to escape!
