Cold and headaches for two weeks

4 replies

peoniesarejustperfect · 27/12/2021 12:34

My DS11 has had a heavy cold with cough for the last two weeks. It comes and goes a bit, but has been persistent. He has weak lungs and colds always go to his chest and linger. For the last couple of days he's had a terrible headache too. Generally looks tired out by lunchtime with dark circles under his eyes. He has had loads of negative LFT and one negative PCR. He has had so much Calpol and is on Vit C, Vit D, Zinc and Vick chest rubs. What would you do? Should I call the doctor tomorrow?

Has he seen a doctor during this period at all? It's probably worth calling out of hours to see if they should e advice or want to see him

He may have sinusitis from your description, try steaming

Thank you. He hasn't seen a doctor at all - I keep thinking that its just a cold and that it will pass. No temperature. I hadn't thought about the out of hours but will look it up. Our doctors service has been best described as 'scant'.
