2 & 3yo gone off food and coughing

[Claire2009]

Dry cough.
Gone off food, drinking plenty though.

Shall I just see what happens?

No temp in either of them, fine form other than the cough and lack of appetite.

Sounds like a sore throat or general malaise (don't worry I don't think they are likely to start oinking - with no temperature it's probably just a minor buglet which will pass).

See if they will eat chocolate buttons, you'll be amazed how appetite returns!

Lots of that going round our way at the mo - seems to come along with general lethargy. Not swine related I don't think ;)

Thanks. They're refusing chocolate, which was why I asked

A bit better today, but Dd has a slight runny nose now, not worrying just curious!

Probably a cold then - if they don't fancy eating anything it's generally that they have lost their sense of smell entirely.

Keep their fluids up and don't worry too much, these things generally last three days and then get better over the next four.

Thanks
