My LO has been really unwell with what we assume is flu. He ended up having blood tests due to persistent vomiting and very high temps. Blood tests showed an significantly elevated white blood count but only moderate elevated CRP so bacterial infection diagnosis wasn't cut and dry and other blood tests weren't significant. He had a stomach ultrasound due to stomach ache and chest x Ray due to cough. We were then given 5 days amoxicillin due to something that showed on the x Ray although it wasn't significant and chest sounded clear.
My son had been so unwell and we were so worried but antibiotics seemed to really help although fevers didn't subside straight away.
He has been off of antibiotics just 1.5 days now and is now complaining of a headache and his temp is slightly raised again. I am so fed up. And so is he, his mood is really effected. Thing is, his cough is hardly there now so I can't imagine it's still a chest infection?
Anyone any stories like this? I will of course be contacting GP as soon as I can. I don't things are bad enough today and can't imagine it's easy to get through to 111
Hope someone can give some reassurance. He hasn't seen anyone to catch anything new, none of us have, I'm so worried and depressed about it all x
