Both me and his Dad have had covid and for us it has been really mild, like we've literally had about 2 days each in total of feeling rough. Well my isolation was supposed to be up at the end of today and now my 9 month old has caught it.
Friday night he was up literally all night just being irritable, he eventually settled at 5am for a few hours. The next day he was crying and whinging all day and feeling extremely hot. I tried to take his temperature but at the moment I've only got one of the underarm ones that takes 2 minutes to read and it's hard to keep him still for that long so how accurate the reading was I don't know.
Since then I've been giving him calpol and the odd bit of neurofen in between but he's still feels so warm and is so whingey. Any ideas on what I can do to make him feel better? He's not drinking his full bottle of milk and when I'm offering him water and even a bit of watered down squash it's like he's not even sucking on the bottle properly and won't keep his dummy in as well either. Usually when it comes to drinks other than his milk he'll drink out of anything, 360 cup, straw or whatever but now he wont.
