My ds2 (5) came home from school ill last Monday.
The dr dx ear infection and conjunctivitis - his eyes looked like something from the exorcist! :(
She gave him amoxicillin and chloramphenicol eye ointment.
All ok.
Then about 5am on Thursday morning he spiked a very high temp, was complaining of bad headache and feeling sick. Also his eyes were bothering him and his skin had a definate purple mottled look. Temp did not come down with calpol. I rang 111 and they sent a paramedic who gave him a check and and advised he needed to see a gp to get his meds changed.
The dr changed his AB to co amoxiclav and asked to see him again the next day to assess him (he looked really poorly)
We saw a different dr on Friday who dx tonsillitis !!!! He has white stuff on his tonsils so I am sure he was right.
I queried if co amoxiclav was the best rx and he said not really- usually penecillin - but keep on with it.
So it's now Sunday and his tonsils have still got white stuff on...after 4 days of co amoxiclav.
Wwyd?
Should I take him back and ask for penecillin?
