Lethargic & tummy ache crying wolf?

I know there's a lot of bugs around, but has my 4 yr old just cottoned on that he can live on calpol and miss nursery by feigning these things? Any guesses?

Just a tummy ache then I might be suspicious ... but the lethargy is harder to fake.

Is he lethargic all the time, or just when it's time to go to nursery?

It's off and on, but he often reminds me of Calpol. He has a few raised temps over the last 3 or 4 days. Doc said it's just a cold and poss causing glands aching everywhere.

If the dr said it could cause glands aching then I wouldn't think he was making it up. Also not many 4 year old can fake lethary.

Yeah you're right. Something is wrong. S'pose just got a niggly feeling about if it's anything worse.....
