Ds went to open the screen door this morning and instead started crying terribly, and held the side of his neck. I think he's pulled something in his neck, but that was about 8.30, and it is still making him cry if he moves much. Obviously Ican't take him to day care like that. He said he was feeling better, and so wanted to get ready for the day. We walked through the house, but he passed the change table. I called him back, and he must have turned wrong, because he started really crying again.
Should I just continue to cuddle him, maybe park him in front of the ABC, or take him to doctor/hospital ?
We gave him gentle massages when he would let us. We couldn't tell if it was stiff, he was quite tense in general. I rang nurse on call, and they told me to get him looked at the dr or hospital within the next four hours, so that's where we are at thr moment. And of course, he is playing, relatively freely, with the hospital toys....
Back home again. Little boy is now asleep laying on my lap!
Doctor at the hospital gave him a good check over, was thinking it could be the start of meningitis. Recommended nurofen and a warming rub or warm hot pack, and if not improved to what we think he should be, to bring him back straight away.
Pulled muscle in neck?
