Anyone got any ideas how I can check my ds's throat for bumps etc? I have got a throat infection along with swollen glands and I'm keen to see if ds has any symptoms too? I'm happy to take him to gp (if i can get an appointment this side of the next millennium?!) but want to have a look myself, however he refuses to open his mouth for me. He is quite happy in the day...as am I, if a little tired....but he is really unsettled at night....wondering if this may be why. Any suggestions? I know that before I was diagnosed I sucked his dummy before putting it back in his mouth and tasted his food before giving it to him too etc...so I may well have inadvertently given him it too! :-((((
