Hi all!
Concerned mama here.
My son who is 2 has had a snotty nose and cough since he started nursery early feb.
We put it down to germs that are inevitably caught whilst starting nursery and as he never felt "off" in himself we thought it would clear on its own.
We have all been getting ill and then making a recovery albeit just to fall ill a few days later again.
Fast forward to end of March and he came down with a temperature of 40.1 and went off his food. He then threw up water he had just had one night and it had brown mucus in.
So off to the hospital we went, they said he had signs of an ear infection and his tonsils were swollen. They did a urine sample and his infection markers were fine.
The next morning we wake up and find his sheets and him covered in mucus and bright red blood!
Over the course of the day it was mucus tinged with blood differentiating in amount of each (less blood towards end of the day).
Then this morning there was still blood and mucus but not as much as the night before (albeit we were up an hour earlier today).
Took him the drs and they said nothing serious they don't think (they had a look in ears, throat and nose).
Said it could just be the infection coming out of him?
Told us to come back next week if still happening.
We got home and it started again quite heavy out of one nostril (it does come out of both).
Any ideas?.
