What do you think of these symptoms?

[dissle]

Its my boy,
Cough, very very hot despite calpol & neurofen stuff.
Croup type thing,
Very heavy eyed and "looks" poorly?

If your DS has a high temperature despite Calpol then you need to seek medical advice asap.

How old is he?

Dont know what his temp is, dont check...he feels hot to touch.

He had croup as a baby, wonder if its a hang over from that, throat infection type thing.
He is nearly 4 now.

He is SO crabby its untrue....

Maybe give your out of hours GP a call or NHS Direct.

Phone your GP. It's still possible to get croup at age four. If has any problems breathing, take him to hospital.

Nah, no probs breathing.

Just a misery guts, having loads and loads of cuddles.

Might ring NHS help line, thanks.

I hope's feeling better soon.

the best way to get his temp down is three hourly alternation of calpol and nurofen. Strip him down to his underwear, and sponge him with a cool sponge. Give him plenty of water, ice loolies are good.

oooh ice loolies nice!
Ta, think he will be ok.

Keep checking for a rash...am paranoid, any of you like that?

Of course - isn't paranoia key to motherhood?
