Has anyone elses child has this lurgy??

[girliefriend]

Two weeks ago (over half term) dd had a cough that was much worse at night, chills and a temp which seemed to come on in the evenings, was off her food, generally lethargic etc. Took her to the drs who said he didn't think it was a chest infection but as this had been going on for about 9 days he would give antibiotics. Within 2 days she was much better and was fine to go back to school.

Annoyingly now 2 weeks later she has exactly the same symptoms again!!! Arghhhh - is this a bad viral thing, has anyone else had this where their dc seemingly gets better only to come down with the same bug two weeks on?!!

Me and DS both had a cold about three weeks ago, he hadnt fully recovered (was still quite snotty and coughing) when he got a second infection, fever that was much worse at night, not eating or drinking anything, better about three days later. Took him to the doctors and she said his throat was red, but not pus-y so just to keep giving calpol. Could be the same thing...?

We've certainly had what sounds like a similar cold bug, if fact we have all been quit ill with it. Although I think you mite find she's come down with a different viral thing, DD and DS have been bouncing from one bug to the next most of the winter.

It seems like there are the most nasty bugs going around at the moment.

In fact I'm so fed up I think I'm going to start dishing out multivitms our diet isn't to bad but just feed we all need a bost.

Thanks, it is so depressing that we are back to square one, am hoping she will have a good night tonight and be well enough for school tomorrow. Although not convinced as she still has been very off colour today, not eating much, complaining of a headache.........

Have been dishing out the multi vits as well!!!
