We ended up being admitted overnight to the paeds ward. The ER docs thought it was a bad double ear infection which is what the paeds diagnosed too. They said I did the right thing bringing him in seeing as the panadol and nurophen werent working to bring down his fever. After numerous rounds of antibiotics, pain meds and fluids through an IV we are home and he is looking a tad bit better but Im on alert to look for signs of change and if he nosedives again I have to go straight back as they can sometimes be wrong with diagnosis.
I'm glad it all worked out and you got an answer for why he's been crook. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in and he'll be on the mend and back to his normal self before you know it.
Poor little love and poor you Anna - it's hard work watching your baby so ill...
Let's hope that tomorrow he is even better - with those ab's on board he should improve really well...
I'm glad you took him to the ER. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon and he recovers quickly. Before you know it you'll have your little monster tearing around the house again!!
Much much better MG, thanks for asking! He is good about taking medication so that helps but so far no need for panadol or nurophen and he's been playing (aka being naughty) and drank the full amount of formula per feed.
