My son turned 4 months old yday. He's a very happy little baby boy. He had his injections a week ago yesterday has seemed fine since although yday he seemed to get really poorly, during the night I thought it was teething and now I'm starting to think overwise.
He did not sleep all night long, literally just cried, if he did fall asleep for all of 10 minuets as soon as I played him down with me he would scream.
He was hot and had a temp of 37.9 so I gave him 2.5ml of calpol.

Today he has a snotty nose, coughing, has drank 8oz milk since 6am this morning, on and off high temp at one point today if was 38.4.
He's just cried all day long, he will cat nap in my arms for 10/15 minuets then wake up crying again until he falls back to sleep and it's been the same thing all day long. He seems to have a lot of wind, lots of it, even after just drinking 1oz he burped 3 times.
I'm going to call the doctors in the morning. I know they are going to tell me it's a viral but he's had a viral before and never ever cried like this and like he's in pain.

Hi OP, if you are worried about your boy please do not hesitate to call 111 tonight, or if very concerned take him to a&e. No healthcare professional worth their salt would tell you you shouldn’t have got your baby checked out when you were worried.
