I hope someone can help. I think I may be paranoid but im a little worried.
On Tuesday my DS had a temperature of 38.8 and a non-blanching rash all over his body. GP advised throat looks a little red but could not pinpoint infection calpol to be given. Calpol worked for a few hours and then temperature increased to 39.2 DS completely listless very sleepy and floppy.
Took to out of hours who said maybe tonsillitis as some spots at back of throat. I had no confidence in the Dr so took DS to our hospital for sick kids A&E who said throat was very swollen. Prescribed penicillin and advised calpol and ibuprofen to be taken. In the morning before we gave him the antibiotic he was back to life eating normally with no temperature. We took him to the gp to check throat and advised that it looks slightly red but not swollen and not to give antibiotic.
That was this afternoon and although he does not have a temperature he has had really watery poos and has had a massive sick while reading our bedtime book.
I am really worried about him but don't know if this is normal and to just leave him in bed or if this is maybe a sign of something more serious. He has never been ill before very rarely has even a sniffle but I think he has quite a high pain threshold as when he gave blood as a baby he didn't flinch so im worried that he is sore and not telling us.
