ds2 burning up...called doc over 2 hours ago no-one here yet

[SHhhhh]

my ds2 has had a fever for 2 days now.... very lethargic can't wake him he just goes bk 2 sleep.... cpl of blotchy marks on arm but wouldnt say they were spots.... not got a thermometer... but feels like he's on fire... tried calpol no luck...any ideas?

have no nurofen.... tried sponging him but he doesnt seem to cool down.... not used 2 him being poorly he's awake 22 hours a day usually.... not like him at all.....

Am presumming you have checked the marks on his arm disappear with the glass test? If you're not happy, then i would take him to the local A&E dept tbh.
xx

have done the glass test n told doc on phone i wasn't happy.... they don't seem 2 fade.... cant believe they taking this long they said within 2 hours..... have dd in bed too dont wanna get her up n worry her(long story)....

If they don't seem to fade 999 don't wait any longer for the doc.

called GP out of hours 2 hours ago nurseryjo

like the others said.... 999 now! please don't hesitate. better to have a flase alarm than a 'what if'

I know it's late, but is there anone you feel you could call, to come and sit with your daughter while you take your other little one to A&E?

doc here

fingers crossed for your little lad shhh

Great!

dont wait any longer take him to a & e or call a ambulance, not worth taking a risk.

oh crossed post, sorry. Hope he is ok.

doc said rash is fine..... his temp has come down now just hope it stays that way..... left him sleepin 4 last half hr then woke him when doc came in n he seems a little more responsive.... thank god 4 that

Thats great news.....now off to bed with you for some well earned rest mummy

gonna stay up a while just 2 be on safe side.....

night jo ty xxxxx
