To call 111 or wait until Monday DS3,

[fizzytonicplease]

Hello

My Ds hasnt been himself the lasy few days little bursts of energy then needing to rest, saying he was cold yesterday and he had a slight temp of 38 controlled with calpol.
I thought he was getting my sore throat as ive felt a bit crappy last few days, he has also been waking in rhe night a bit clammy and having some bad dreams which is normally a sign he isnt well.
This morning he told me his neck hurst inside when i looked inside,it does look very swollen more on one side with some white marks,and i can feel a swollen gland on the same side, his breath was also a bit stinky this morning.
Im just wondering if i should get him seen asap if antibiotics are needed as he starts nursery next week.
Have attached a pic

If you are worried call 111 that's what it's there for you help you work out if you need to see someone.

Yes you're right i should just call, i just dont want to waste anyones time. Think i just needed someone to tell me, im feeling crappy too and cant seem to think straight

Oh my that does look sore. I'd ring 111 and get advice, they may be able to offer an OOH appointment. Chances are it's viral so nothing can be except give pain relief and plenty of fluids. With my DC I have to avoid dairy when they have sore throats.

Just call 111. It's their job to signpost for questions like this.

111 called and they are going to call me back with an appointment, ..i hate to think im wasting peoples time, obviously if DS was really unwell i would call without a second thought but i just keep thinking its a sore throat and is it as swollen as i think or am i overreacting. Just needed someone to tell me yep it is swollen call them!
So thankyou
