My DS is 14yrs old and is normally very, very healthy, no worries with his general health and has only needed antibiotics a total of 3 times until these episodes. I do not take my DC to the drs at the drop of a hat neither am I over fussy and a worry wart but this is starting to niggle me now, before I traipse him back to the GP I thought I would see if any of you have had anything similar and could throw any light on what is going on?? Thanks.
8 Weeks ago DS was worn out, washed out, coughing everywhere and off of his food. Took him to GP who diagnosed chest infection, gave antibiotics and said if didn't clear up to go back and they would arrange chest x ray. Finished course 7 days later appeared better then steadily got worse about 2 weeks later, gave it another couple of weeks as it seemed to come and go a bit but then he got so run down I took him back. He was given another course of antibiotics (no diagnosis), had blood tests for glandular fever, thyroid, diabetes, blood cell count etc and a chest x ray, everything came back clear. He finished the antibiotics on the 21/12 and we seemed to be on the up, appetites slowly returned to near normal huge portions, constantly hungry again, nagging to get on back on the cards for me ~ my typical teenage boy was back:))
Today we have been at friends for new year meal, he had to nap before we went, hardly ate a thing became very pale and slept the whole way home. He practically fell out of the car, I stood behind him as he wobbled up the stairs. He was shaking, looking like he was about to pass out and has a temp. of 38.5 (not overly high I know but warm enough). I don't know if all of this is related or if he is just being unlucky and picking everything up at the moment. he did have a late night last night but slept in till lunchtime and had a nap at 3pm before we went out;)
Any ideas...Don't want to be panicking but this is so not my boy;(
Thanks in advance xx
