Bit worried about Dd2

She started off with a tickly cough last night. This always triggers her asthma and so she was awake nearly all night coughing and wheezing and being sick.

I took her to the docs today and she was represcribed her inhalers etc, which we started straight away.

She was fine for most of the day apart from the cough, but then around 4/5pm she went downhill, very tired, hot to touch but feeling cold.

She has been dosed up with Ibuprofen, and cough meds and has been in bed an hour now but have just been in to her and she is still shivering under a quilt, blanket and her dressing gown, plus she opened her eyes and looked at me but wouldn't speak, I asked her if she was ok and she just looked right through me. She is still hot to touch although not as much as earlier, and the whites of her eyes are very red and bloodshot.

Is there anything else I should do ??

I'd give her calpol aswell but we don't have any and I have no one who can get me any at this hour.

Morning all

Dd was absolutly roasting again when she woke this morning and kept saying that she felt strange. She couldn't tell me what she meant by strange, just said that she felt weird when she got out of bed, said her hands and feet felt like they weren't there.
Anyway have dosed her up with ibuprofen again and my mum has gone for calpol and a thermometer.

She has perked up a bit since i gave her the ibuprofen, and temp has come down again, and has managed to eat some scrambled egg and have a bit to drink.
