DP has just come back from Drs with DS saying he has something called Nisty!

[chocolateshoes]

DS (14mths) has been out of sorts & off his food for the last couple of days. DP took him to the Gp today who said DS has 'Nisty'. Has anyone ever heard of this? I can't find a reference to it anywhere in any of my medical bks! (Of course, DP could have it completely wrong!)

no idea, could it be a mis-pronunciation?

Reminds me of when my aunt had a cough and told us all in a very unworried way that it was meningitis, when she really meant laryngitis.

I though perhaps it was 'nasty' at 1st! Maybe an acronym...

Might be "Non Specific" something or other - NSD. DP may have misheard. Can't think of anything at the moment, but will keep trying.

Non-Specific Virus maybe as that would be NSV??

What did dp say the GP told you to do? Might provide a clue... or you could try calling NHS Direct and seeing if they have anyone who can explain.

yep, I bet it was non specific virus NSV

Never heard of nisty before, I'm curious now.

swollen glands, off his food, won't drink, sore ear, red throat, sore eye....very fragile, bit of a temperature - those are his symptoms. Dr said give Calpol etc & it should go in 48hrs.

NSV sounds quite plausable. DP was so sure - 'he's got nisty'he says!!! What is he like!

The other thing is he had his MMR plus pneucocciol jab 9 days ago so it could be a reaction to that although the DR didn't seem keen to equate the two.
