Ds1 is nearly 5 years old and was rushed off to hospital by ambulance last Sunday with a temp of 104 which was still rising.
He has a history of febrile convulsions which is why we didnt take any chaces with the temp.
His temp finally settled whilst at A&E thanks to a much larger dosage of paracetamol and ibuprofen (they worked the dosage out on ds weight rather than age- and he is a tall lad).
A consultant came to examine him, he diagnosed an ear infection and gace him antibiotics but said he was sure that wasnt the only problem he asked us to drop off a urine sample to our doctors in the morning so it could be sent away to be tested.
We had a rough night with ds as his temp kept shooting up to 104 then dropping, took the urine sample round to the docs in the morning in the sample bottles supplied by hosp.
I phoned for the results a few days later and was told the testing wasnt done as the bottles were labled incorrrectlyaarrgghhhh-i explained all ds details were on the sticker and that that was the bottle that had been supplied by hosp and as he had started the antibiotics his urine now couldnt be tested.
He has a a week of high temp and feeling rough, he kept stretching his arms and legs a lot as he said they felt odd.
Yesterday his temp finally came and stayed down and was ooking a bit better but this morning he has woken up with a runny nose and cold symptoms.
Can the runny nose ever come AFTER the temp with swine flu?
Sorry it's so long...
