First time mum and really could do with some advice.
My son had bacterial tonsillitis last December. After a trip to a&e because he stopped drinking and I struggled to get his fever below 39.5 they've diagnosed it again but said its severe.
I expected he'd crash out after the hospital trip and he didn't. Longest stint he slept last night was 50min once. Otherwise he'd fall asleep for 15 min and wake screaming. He can't breastfeed at the minute as it's too painful but thankfully he's taking water. He's never taken a bottle or a dummy no matter now much I try.
We're alternating paracetemol and ibuprofen, he's been given penicillin which he is spitting out and were giving him dairy free ice cream as its the only.thing he'll have (he's cmpa)
He's had 2 hours sleep in the last 24 hours and he is in so much pain I can't stand it.
I phoned paeds in the early hours and they said they'd do nothing else and he's just in for a bad 24 hours.
If anyone has been in position please help! He has so much saliva hes borking on it, choking then screaming. I've had an hour sleep myself and im at a loss. He's stopped settled for dad too.
Thank you!
