DS still asleep, what to do?

DS is 15 months, been generally a bit grumpy for a week. Last night he was especially grumpy so calpol'ed him at put him to bed, he had a slight temperature. He hasnt woken since.

Waiting for an "urgent" call from GP nurse which will be this afternoon or possibly this evening.

Nothing specific, slight temp, was occasionally pulling at ears, decreased appetite. But he's completely un rousable, changed nappy with DD1 and 2 in the room jumping about and he just slept. He obviously is responsive because I've got a few oz of water into him and nurophen in him. But I cant wake him any more than that. So he's been asleep for 17 hours looks poorly but not collapsed. Occasional small cry but by the time I've got to his door he's asleep again.

So MNers should I call the GPs again, NHS direct or am I just wittling about nothing and let him sleep it off. DD2 has complex medical needs and I'm always on the ball with her getting her seen as appropriate. But a normal "abit unwell and sleeping child" has completely thrown me.

Thinking of you and your DS - hope he's better very soon.

And Shock now I understand why, when I came onto MN to moan I had chicken pox at the age of 21, you all told me to stay away from uni/public places til I was completely better! Had NO idea it could cause such serious things in a young child.

LilyPickle · 03/01/2013 17:30

Still no news? Fingers tightly crossed all is ok.

ToomuchheuchatendofHogmanay · 03/01/2013 17:46
