3 days of settled crying, hot, wants constraint fussing. Not totally off food, but much less, no rash, no runny nose, no cough...

Still bf and wants the boob constantly (exhausting). What could this be? Is this a doctor or treat at home thing?

Am totally, totally exhausted....

How's his temp? Is it under control with calpol?

Oh dear, you must be exhausted, it is so hard when they are ill and want to be held/fed all the time.

After 3 days of a temperature, and also considering his age, I would get him looked at by the gp. It could be that he has an ear or throat infection which could account for the temperature, crying and being off his food. Antibiotics will clear this up quickly. On the other hand, it could just be a virus which will run its course, but if you get him checked you will at least know what you are dealing with.

Good luck, it is horrible when they are ill.
