It feels like my 7 year old child has been unwell on and off for a year with multiple symptoms and going back and fourth from the doctors with still no real help or answers.
He was diagnosed with Asthma a few years back after being in and out of hospital with his breathing and also has a nut allergy where he has to carry an epi-pen.
He does seem to have a constant dry cough and is constantly snotty where he always has a tissue on him in his pockets. He does seem to be that child that always has cold like symptoms. It was recently highlighted at the doctors that’s he’s very pale and looks like he’s not slept (even though he’d had 11 hours sleep prior). He also gets what I think is night sweats, where he’ll be asleep in shorts and tshirt and be soaking through them and his pillow, to the point where I need to change it as it’s so wet and his hair is soaking (room temperature is fine and doesn’t have a big thick duvet).
In the last 6 months or so he’s started to complain of a bad tummy and headaches that come on very sudden to the point where he is holding his head in pain (the pain is located on his forehead), this is also accompanied by a fever. After given medicine he’ll go lie down in the dark and fall asleep for a few hours. When he wakes he still complains it hurts but doesn’t seem as severe
I just don’t know what to do anymore, I feel like a nuisance at the doctors, am I worrying for no reason and kids get poorly with lots of different things and some more than others and that’s normal. Just don’t feel like somethings right. But also feel like I’m not getting anywhere with the doctors.
