DS (6) has had temperature all week but is better now. It's his second bug of the year and he's normally a well child.
3 odd things are worrying me a bit, he's had real sleep disturbances, sleep talking and flailing around, lots of nose bleeds ( one earlier this week lasted an hour) and he is complaining it hurts if I pick him up for a hug under his arms.

Do I keep ignoring all these things? Is it just post viral shenanigans? Smile

Could be but I suppose it could also be something else. So helpful, aren't I?!

If he had a temp for a whole week that sounds like a nasty virus. It may be more likely he's still working the nastiness out of his system and still fighting it.
How are his glands? Esp ones under the arms - are they sore or bigger than usual?

Has he had a cold also? Blowing nose or trying to a lot? I'd see GP to ask these Q's probably.
Hope he recovers fully soon poor thing.

When ds is tossing and turning at night it's usually because he's uncomfortable with an ear infection brewing.

There are gland under the arm that can come up with viral illnesses.

Nose bleeds, for me, used to come with a temperature when I was a child. For some children then come with a cold too.

If he's not right tomorrow then it's probably worth getting him checked out.
