dd (6) has had a cold then a cough for about a week. Yesterday she woke up about 5 , coughing , was a bit hot and said her ankles ached. By school time and with a bit of nurofen she was ok ish so she went although I said to teacher she was tired and a bit below par. Picked her up as usual and she was a pale and heavy eyed but had eaten all her lunch and been given the option to sit out games but still did it. Came home she had some more nurofen and revived, ate snacks and some dinner. Put her to bed with a bit of a temperature then she was awake again at 5, coughing, which made her retch.
This morning she was hot again and is obviously tired from broken nights so has decided to give dancing a miss today and is now sitting quietly playing on her ds. Intermittently she says her ears pop/hurt a bit, feels dizzy and legs/ankles ache. Does it sound like just a post viral thing, in which case do we just continue with nurofen and hope it works its way through? Of course it happens to be a bank holiday w/end with limited gp service.
