My daughter has been pretty unwell for since Saturday afternoon.
Very High temp (40+) sore throat, shivering, generally unwell
We saw the Dr yesterday... said almost certainly strep A and gave her antibiotics.
She spent all of yesterday afternoon (having seen dr mid afternoon) on the sofa watching disney plus looking awful
temp still around 40 even after calpol.
She slept for 13.5 hours last night.
Came downstair this morning, had her ABs and a drink (and a strop because she doesnt like ABs but obviously she has to take them)
Her temp was 38.7 (less than 39.6 at bed time) and lowest in a long time.
she point blank refused calpol as she "doesnt like" that either and given the stress of taking ABs i decided to fight that battle a little bit later...
she then went back to bed to lie down, fell straight back to sleep and has now been sleeping for another 3.5 hours and counting (on top of 13.5 hours last night)
She was only awake for 45 mins max
I think i know that letting a sleeping poorly child sleep is the right thing to do but should I be worried?

Have other children who have had strep A slept a LOT?
