My 3 year old DD got ill last week with the usual cough high temp runny nose ect and her temp went back to normal after a day. Then she was fine in regards to temperature as it was normal but she still has the cough. Then yesterday's her temperature increased again so I took her to the doctors who said she's surprised her high temp came back as she can't see any signs of there being anything wrong but my daughter has a high temp and is sleepy. I'm stressed out now. The doc gave her some antibiotics on a 'just in case basis' and said only give her starting from Thursday if she's no better. Why do doctors do that? They give no explanation at what's wrong at all. She said she doesn't like giving children antibiotics (which I fully understand) but she's left me wondering why my daughters temperature has spiked again and she can't find nothing. It's stressing me out seeing her ill and the doctor has not given any explanation whatsoever so I'm left thinking all sorts and thinking what if she has meningitis or Something although I've not noticed a rash. It's hard work taking her to the docs as it is trying to fit appointments whilst other kids are at school and she's done nothing to help
