He had his MMr a few weeks back (he is now 18months old) - on day 8 it wiped him out and to add to his miserableness he sounded like he had a chedst inf. so was prescribed a course of ant biotics which seemed to do the job - he fin the course on the Tue and on Wed started with an awful night time cough, last Mon i took him to the docs again and he gave an inhaler to try for 3 nights - 2 nights brill then the 3rd night he was all moaney again so dont know if it was something new he had picked up at nursery? On Thus back at docs who has now given him a 7 day course of steroids as he said he still didnt seem to have shifted ch inf. - he seemed to perk up and went back to nursery yesterday where they said he was a bit off after his pm sleep and sure enough last night we had a restless night and today we went to a wedding and he was well off form so we came home early. Refused his tea tonight and was shivering - cold and went blue on cheeks, calpoled up and he improved and colour returned to face - dh said he was shattered and has took him out for a walk in the buggy to dry and get him some kip. The colour has returned to normal in his cheeks but we were on the brink of an a and e visit.

Not due back at docs now will Thus but am v anxious and just want my little boy to be 100% again. Any medical experts there?

I have also just read steroids make him prone to inf. so will keep him of nursery this week. (he is 18 months old) cute but whiney.......

Sorry about the crap grammer and long post btw but as i said im wrecked with it all - me and dh are going to murder each other at this rate!

there is nothing worse than them being ill, followed by a day of respite or so, then they get somethignelse.

Conflicting advice on the chest sitch, wel any course of treatment doesn't help stress either doesn't help.

I'd say let him get toaly well until he goes back to an environment where he may pick up another illness.

he needs time to heal really.

good luck!

Glad he's on the mend. It's amazing how quickly the ABs can zap these things.
