Morning all, my DD6 has had what I believe to be some sort of viral thing going on. Started on Wed 19th Dec (so we're on day 13 of illness) and began with a high temp of 39.4c, runny nose, dry cough and general feeling unwell). Stayed pretty much that until Sun 23rd Dec where her cough started sounding wetter and then has stayed wet sounding since and still getting a temp. I took her to the doctors Thurs 27th Dec and she had a good check - her chest was clear and other than a bit of a temp and fast heart rate her obs were fine. Doctor put it down to a viral and gave us some antibiotics as a precaution in case she got worse over the weekend and to then start them today. She's woken up this morning, still with a wet cough and a temp of 39c. Her appetite has been less since she's been ill and has still managed to eat a fair bit, but she's hardly eaten over the weekend (even her favourite foods). What makes this even harder is she is ASD and non-verbal so she can't communicate what's bothering her and what she feels like. I've never known a viral to last this long including a temp for this long as well (I've got 4 children so had my fair share of illness with them all). I'm more than happy to start the antibiotics, but have held off so far in case it really is just a viral which antibiotics aren't going to do anything for, which the doctor also stated. But I'm starting to think it's something else, or do I need to go back to the doctors, I just don't want to waste anyone's time if they say it's viral still. Any advice would be appreciated.
