First time mum - still clueless. Always vowed to not be one that rushed to the docs at first sign of a cold but find it hard to not be overprotective!
On Thursday I got a call from nursery at lunch saying DS (age 15 months) had broken out in an odd rash all over his tummy and back and I had to collect him immediately. I did and took him to the docs. He didn't have a temperature, no sign of a cold. Ears throat chest all clear. Doc was a little baffled by the rash and said to keep an eye on him.
Friday (yday) he was very clingy and one minute would be playing then next would drop to the floor and just scream and cry. Wouldn't be picked up but didn't want to be on his own. I followed him around strocking his back and kept him topped up with calpol and ibuprofen.
This morning I went in his room and the cot was full of sick that he'd slept in :-(
He was then sick immediately after breakfast, at lunch time he was sick again (no food) then a bout of diarrhoea late afternoon.
He has slept all day and is very tearful. The rash is almost gone.
He hasn't had a temperature at any point.
My mum has suggested I should call 111 tonight but he's now in bed sleeping and I'm not too sure what I expect them to say?
Does this just sound like a normal virus to you and if you were me would you just assess the situation in the morning?
Thanks :-)
