My happy, chirpy DS has disappeared and I'm not sure what to do next. DS started acting very miserably last Thurs, and by Friday he had a horrid barking cough with a temp of 39.7. Took him to the GP on Sat who was able to rule out croup but diagnosed a chest infection and gave him amoxicillin.
The bark and wheeze has gone, and the temp, and has been replaced by a spluttery cough much more like the type he gets with a cold, but he's absolutely miserable! For the last three days he's asked me to go to bed at 11.30am and napped for at least two hours, and when he is awake he's either on the sofa staring vacantly at the TV or crying and whinging at me for daring to venture from his side.
I've taken him out for quick trips to the shops (in the buggy) but tbqh I haven't taken him anywhere like the park because he's just too tired and sad.
Is he still ill? Should I take him back to the GP or give it a bit more time?
