Needing some advice purlease
Ds has tonsils out on Tuesday so on day 5 post op. He is still needing regular paracetamol & ibuprofen. He developed earache on day 2 and it is still waking him up in the night.
He was prescribed amoxocillin and is on day 3 of them. THis is because he was running temperature, very painful throat and stinky breath.
He still high temperature, was 37.8 but had paractemol and now temp is 37.5. He is hardly eating and drinking and cries as it hurts too much to swallow.
Managed to get him to have a weetabix soaked in milk and 2 small glasses of yoghurt drink today (he is refusing water). Have also managed to get him to have a small pot of jelly. All this resulted in him in tears. I called the ENT dept and spoke to dr about his ears and she said to see how he is tomorrow.
He now has a nosebleed (not through picking it at all), managed to stop bleeding.
He is at times quite bright but is definately not himself. Prior to op he had an amazing appetite and food has seriously never ever been a problem.
I know he will recover but just thought that by now he would be eating/drinking. I guess the infection is slowing his recovery but I feel quite helpless and at a loss as to how to help him.
