Hi I am asking here for any advice and ideas as to what could be wrong with my ds1 who is 5.
On 22nd march he came home from school with a high temp felt lethargic etc, the usual for a fever. He was off school the following mon and tues. I sent him back on the weds but when i picked him up he was exhausted and tearful, not himself, so kept him off on the thurs. Sent him back on the Fri,(30th) as it was the last day and he seemed better, bit tired but nothing bad.
On the Sunday he came down with d+v which lasted for him till the thurs/fri.(We all had it and dh still has symptoms now!)
So, bless them all 3 kids poorly until tues so no holiday! So not been out till fri and today to make sure not infectious.
Tonight ds1 again has awful temp doesn't feel right lots of burping etc. So any ideas please as he has been 'off' since 22nd March! I am at my wits end and starting to get really worried now.

The temp isn't that high. My guess would be a tummy bug. Some can last on and off for weeks :( an ear infection could be causing a temp and dizziness though so may be worth seeing ooh if you're worried.
