Aaaw, thanks so much everyone. You ladies really know how to comfort a worried mum
Thought I give you guys an update, have tried to post since Tues but kept experiencing problems.
I have given him panadol/nurofen religiuously and the fever has finally broke, thank goodness. He had bad reaction to ABs so the dr told us to stop it cause it didnt seem to make a difference.
She now suspects DS has bronchiolitis. He still vomits and coughs badly. Will be going to the dr again today (for the fifth time!) and I'll also ask for ABs for myself - having some mastitis symptoms cause he's not drinking as much.

Almost forgot, just in case someone is interested. I havent tried the icy poles but I gave him some cold fruit gel and he actually liked it. I think it's soothing for his throat.

Thanks again ladies
