Worried about DS.

My DS (21MO) at the weekend was refusing his food, drink and was extremely lethargic.

Took him to the GP and he told me that it was a virus and they couldn't do anything about it just keep giving him calpol.

Over the past few days he has become worse, he developed a cold and a very sore throat where eating and drinking would become painful. He has chronic diarrhea and his bum is red raw no matter how much sudocream I put on him. He has a wheezy cough which isn't allowing him to sleep as everytime he falls asleep he starts having a coughing fit, he has also lost his voice so he cannot cry or talk he just squeaks to let me know he is in pain. He has got a temperature and he is struggling to keep his eyes open because he is so tired.

I am giving him calpol and I have done my best to try to get him to drink. He had some milk earlier but he didn't want to touch the porridge I made him to eat.

Any advice about what I should do for my DS would be greatly appreciated, I am a worried mother at the moment :(.

Get him seen again, any child with a wheeze needs to be seen. Ring for advice tonight.
