Dd8 not been herself last couple of days, easily weepy, clingy, says her legs ache, she turned down a party at the last minute this afternoon saying she felt too tired and just wanted to cuddle on the couch. She looks pale too. Nothing else sore- throat ok and eating and drinking enough. She’s also been complaining of feeling cold so took her temp fully expecting a fever to show but she’s not got a temp at all despite her symptoms. Confused as she always gets really high fevers over a common cold 🤷‍♀️anyone else had a kid that is clearly under the weather but not with a temp?

Does she feel hot to touch?

She might just be exhausted or about to come down with something?

Doesn’t feel hot to touch, she does look exhausted and fell asleep in record time tonight after some calpol as she said her legs feel achey and “everything” hurts ☹️

I'd just keep an eye on her - specifically it might 'just' be a virus but it could be a UTI as I find they sometimes have non specific symptoms.

Could easily be a cold or flu that's settling in. Full symptoms not yet arrived or even fever just isn't a symptom this time. Just keep an eye on her. Hope she feels better soon. Flowers
