Hi, my poor DS has had tonsillitis and a fever of 40 degrees since Wednesday. It comes down to about 38 with calpol and ibuprofen so I've been alternating these but like clockwork once it wears off it's straight back up. GP diagnosed bacterial tonsillitis on Thursday and he's been on antibiotics since then. Took him to A&E paeds ward last night after he started having some convulsions who also confirmed nasty tonsillitis case and said convulsions are due to very high temp. They said we can come straight back to the ward if he gets worse.
Do we just ride it out? I'm concerned it's not getting much better and also worried about the constant stream of paracetamol and ibuprofen he's been having - I've stayed to the time limits but this will be the fourth day in a row of it.
Hasn't eaten since Wednesday but is managing to drink some things (water, milk), nappies wet and few cases of diarrhoea yesterday. We have a difflam spray but it makes him vomit every time. Poor thing feels so miserable and just wants cuddles but I also have a 10mo to see to. Any advice is welcome!
