Sitting watching Peppa pig with Ds(4). He's been unwell the last 4 days, we've kept him hydrated and Calpol.
Scarlet fever confirmed at his nursery last week, so I'm worried.
He has no rash, he had a wee one thru the week but gone now. High temp, sore throat/mouth, coughing, sore tummy and he had wee red cheeks. Tonight he's been crying in pain as he says the back of his neck is really sore. Calpol and Peppa kicking in now.
Do i need to call docs tomorrow morn and get him an appt? Think I do but don't want to over react
God, I need sleep!
