Has anyone elses dc had this awful cough/cold thing going around???.......

[Becaroooodolf]

Ds 1 (8) has had it for nearly 2 weeks now (no temp, eating ok) and of course ds2 (3) has come down with it.

He has been coughing and snotty since saturday but wasnt too worried as he was eating and no temp, then yesterday morning he was burning up - temp well over 39 degrees and he is off his food so took him to GP and (surprise surprise) its just a virus and his chest is clear.

Last night/early this morning he was coughing so much he was retching/heaving. He also had a temp again but would not let me give him any calpol.

wwyd? How long do I leave him til I take him back?

fluffy, dh, fil, dd and my Mum all have diarrhoea and my Dad has sticky, gunky eyes. It's such a pleasant virus.

Still going strong here.

Doc told me to get pholcodeine from the pharmacy for the cough, seems to be working but I still ache all over.

DD and FIL both had conjunctivitis with it.

Wish it would feck off now, I've got so much to do but am stuck on the sofa
