Hi everyone,

I've been sick since Saturday... started with a fever that went to 12 hours until I finally took panadol and then it slowed down. I only took the panadol because i had such a terrible headache and couldn't sleep.

IN the morning I thought I had tonsillitis. super sore throat with trouble swallowing and I also had a blocked nose (no snot though) and sore legs.

I basically was feeling miserable.

By monday, the lack of sleep made me delirious but other than a cough I was ok.

Yesterday I was feeling pretty yuck. just tired and sick... then around 3pm I started getting an earache and by the time DH got home at 5.45pm the ear ache was so painful that I was in tears.

I went to the GP and he haveme some ear drops and I also ear candled the sore ear..... but the pain only stopped with panadol.

so today I have, one deaf ear with pain, and a cough and what I think is a sinus infection becuase I now can't taste anything or smell anything plus the snot is not a pleasant colour.


so as gross and miserable as I have been.... I have had to obviously keep feeding Luxxe and looking after her because DH had to work and we have no family here.

I've been going around with a teatowel wrapped around my head so I won't cough or breathe germs on her.

BUt this morning she has a temperature.

I'm so scared.

I don't want my baby to be sick.

I certainly don't want her to feel as crappy as I have been.


can been there done that mums PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me with advice on how to deal with what may be coming?

how do I deal with fevers, earaches, tonsillitis, etc in a 6 month old??


I'm going to call the naturopath now to see if there is anything they can offer.


I'm totally on the verge of freaking out.

I just feel so guilty and worried.


any help and advice would be totally appreciated.
