To Doc or not for DS?

Do I take DS to doc or not?

He is 6. Came home from school on Monday looking v. tired and went downhill rapidly - hot and lethargic and cold symptoms. He has been off school since. Is coughing and sniffly. Temp is still up and down. DH thinks I should take him to doc as he has had the temp for 3 days. I don't want to take him out if I don't have to. He is fine when temp under control but once Nurofen wears off it goes up again.

A friend's DS has it too but he developed croup. DS's cough did seem croupy on Tuesday but is just a normal cough now. My thinking is a virus and nothing they can do that I am not already doing?

Your poor DS tmmj! That is awful.

DS won't take Calpol - hates it. Loves Nurofen though thankfully.

I think I will give it today and see if temp goes up again. His last does of Nurofen was about 7pm last night. Temp ok since.
