Thanks for the advice on fruit gel, thats news to me too.
My poor baby has gotten a bit better on Saturday but this morning his temp is high again, 39.2. Lucky DH can look after him today.
And unfortunately I cant avoid the mastitis, I am on ABs now and is getting an ultrasound tomorrow. The dr told me to rest cause I have a cold as well. But I've taken last week off to take care of DS and now that I am sick I dont think I'll be able to have another day off.
Thanks for reading and sorry for a self centred post, I am at work now and I feel like I want to cry but just cant. You guys are the closest shoulder I've got now.
big hugs agnes - poor you with the mastitis and the cold... and now poor DS again as well. I know how hard it is to balance work and caring for a sick bubba - i dont have any advice just a virtual hug!!!
Just a quick note: My DS gets terrible diarrhea and nappy rash from the Amoxyl antibiotic that Dr's generally give. So now I have said no more Amoxyl and they give him something else (I can't remember the name of it but it's pink).
You can also give Nurofen and Panadol together if the fever is very high and not coming down with the panadol alone. Keep in mind a fever is the body's natural way of fighting infection, though the analgesics do relieve the aches and pain that is often associated with an ear infection.
Good luck, sending your little guy a great big hug...
