Dh just gone with ds to a and e/ out of hrs and now im a worry mummy

[nappyzonecantrunfortoffee]

He had croup on 23/24 and seemed better though started sounding more loose coughing today - seemed happy enough till aorund half 6 when putting to bed he had wheels or small clusters of blisters - like nettle rash eprhaps - thought reaction to something so gave piriton at 7pm and a bath and after seemed to have gone down by which time out of hrs place had rang back and said would leave and to ring back if got worse - putting to bed he crying and saying my neck my neck - gave calpol and he went off but ten mins later woke sobbign again then went off again till about 8.40 then woke really distressed saying neck again and coughing - rang back out of hrs who said half 10 to bring over but if worried go to a and e as next door and prob get seen sooner as quiet. Have now given nurofen as thought could be ears and off he has gone

sure he will be fine

Hope all is ok, has he has a temp at all? Both dd's have had a similar thing on and off for a few weeks but they had a very high temp for 4 days.

Hope you hear something from dh soon.

He just did not seem right

He did not feel particularly hot and typically our ear thermometer battery is flat ! Hes only just gone 3 so notthe best communicator so all a bit guess work.

did yours have the nettle rash thingy marne? dd had something similar years back and was i think reaction to something.

Its hard when they can't tell you whats wrong, i'm always taking dd2 to A&E, she has Autism and can't tell me whats wrong, she always gets really high temp when ill (40+) and refuses to drink so i panic and take her in as i worry about dehydration. Its always best to get them checked out.

Your right it is - he will be wretched tired - just wish id took an appointment earlier now grrrrrrr

Dd1 had a rash around her neck and chest which seemed to come and go, dd2 didn't have a rash, both had coughs (dd2 gets croup), high temp, one minute they were running around and then flaked out on and off for a week. Dd1 is still coughing (i can hear her now).

I hope he is well Nappyzone.

if your instincts are he is not well you have definitely done the right thig.

{{Sends a big hug to nappyzone and poorly ds.}}

Last time i took dd2 in to A&E she was so floppy, hadn't eaten or drank for over 24 hours, she refused to take a drink from me. Within a hour of being there (after a long wait) they had her eating and drinking after a few hours she was sat up doing a puzzle and we were sent home.

I think i have taken her in 3 or 4 times this year, they must think 'OMG its that mad mother back again'.

Thats why im glad dh has took him for a change! he has just rang for his dob so hopei get news soon.

They are on way back home - hes fine. DH is miffed as he paid £2.8 to park and the barrier was up and im miffed because ive been in the dark for 2 hrs about ds as dh left his phone in the dark. ANyway ds is fine and thats the main thing - they said did right thinig so dont feel a time waster. Hes 4 hrs past his bedtime - bet he doesnt sleep in tomorow!! Thanks all x

Glad all is ok, i hope you all managed to get some sleep.

He came home chufffed the nurse had gave him some buttons - i told him if he did not go to sleep i had to tell nurse and he would not get them - he slept till half 8 but is so tetchy today clearly tired - roll on sleep time tonight! Going to encourage hime to have a chill out and poss sleep this pm.
