I was in a@e from 7ish last night until 11 today with my youngest who is 3. He'd had a fever and was lethargic with a rapid heartbeat . He didn't wee all day abd was dehydrated. He has a swollen tonsil/tonsillitis but not given antibiotics as its supposedly viral.
He's got worse again and is refusing g all efforts to get fluids down. He's now got the runs and is lethargic again. No temp though.
Finally got him settled for bed but I feel so stressed. He's had tonsillitis 3 or 4 times before and nearly every time ended up needing antibiotics as it really makes him ill. Just can't stop worrying and I'm so tired. I guess I need a rant and to know I'm doing all I can. Felt lost at the hospital as it was so busy and were kind of left to give water every 10 mins as a fluid challenge but it was tough. Didn't feel very reassured
