13 week old baby with sore throat - help please!

I took my baby to the doctor this morning as he has been having difficulty feeding. The doctor said he had a sore throat and to give him calpol.

I have tried calpol but he is still finding it painful to swallow, and screams and pulls away every time I try to feed him. He now hasn't had a proper feed since 8am this morning (despite my best efforts!) and I'm getting a bit worried...

Any advice or suggestions would be very welcome!

Is he still having wet nappies?

Does he have a fever?

If you are worried call ooh / nhs 24.

Thanks for the advice. No, he doesn't have a fever and is still having wet nappies. He's had a good feed this morning so hopefully he's on the mend!
