Please help me figure out whats going on with DS....
He's 15 months old, has always been a good sleeper. Last Thursday was sent home from childminders with a temperature, was a bit off his food but was happily plodding round the house playing. Thursday night he wouldn't settle in bed, he was bunged up and had a fever but would sleep on me and DH slightly upright on the sofa.
Friday and Saturday much of the same, but managed to break the fever Saturday and temp has been fine ever since.
Sunday he seems better in himself, napped as usual during the day but when it came to bed time he went down fine only to wake up half an hour later inconsolably screaming, not just a cry like a full on scream, nothing would soothe him and after 1.5 hours we called 111 and got told to take him to the hospital.
Took him up there and got him checked over, they said they think its just from whatever viral infection he had the last few days but his cough sounded possibly a bit "croupy" so gave him the steroids just in case.
He was exhausted yesterday after being so late to bed from the hospital the night before, so put him to bed early and lo and behold half hour after being asleep he's screaming again. We had to put him in the car and drive round for an hour to get him to calm down.
We've been giving him Calpol at bedtime as hes cutting molars, so that should be helping him but I don't know what else to do. When he wakes up screaming its like he doesn't even know i'm there to comfort him. I thought maybe it was night terrors but everything I've read says he would only be screaming for 15 mins or so? I'm at a loss.
