DS still asleep, what to do?

[ClutchingPearls]

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.

Hope he's ok

Good luck! Hope it turns out well!

Thinking of you. Hope it turns out to be 'just a virus' and he makes a swift recovery. Also, when it's over and the dust has settled I'd be contacting the gp. You spoke to someone twice, they took your details but were too busy to get a nurse or doctor to see you. Fair enough, but with the symptoms you described someone should have advised 999 or 111. It's worrying that they didn't and perhaps this needs bringing to their attention so staff can be retained.

Gosh, I think people here are so often far too cautious but I am so, so relieved that I got the last page and you'd called an ambulance. I hope this in retrospect turns out to be an overreaction and nothing serious, but in this sort of case, it is an emergency. Hope he is okay.

Hope he's ok, sending best wishes to you

I don't often suggest complaining about doctors (I am one so can often see where they are coming from even if the MN collective doesn't), but I'd second dollysister. This sort of call firstly should NOT be left to a triage nurse and should have been dealt with by a doctor and secondly, you should have been advised to seek immediate medical help.

Glad you've called. It is probably just a virus but you can't take any chances.

Hope he's ok. We're thinking of you.

Hope he is ok OP. Will be thinking of you.

When you are through this I also think you must take the surgery to task over this. You have an unrousable child and they have kept you waiting. Absolutely unacceptable.

Thank goodness. I hope he's ok OP.

Hope everything is OK, OP

Gosh, I hope he's okay OP & that's it's nothing serious. How worrying for you, I've got my fingers crossed.

Hope everything is alright, Clutching.

Hope he is ok.

how scary for you. Is there someone who can come and look after your DD for you? I hope you are all ok and he's just have a really, really, really good sleep to get over something.

Am thinking about you and your son, hope he's okay.

Thinking of you. Hope all is ok x

Everything is crossed for you x

Read this thread with my heart in my throat--so glad you called 999. Hope it turns out to be nothing, will keep my fingers crossed for you x

Fingers crossed OP

Really hope he's ok.

Hoping everything works out ok.
