    That's about what our GP said to us yesterday with a sick 17 month old, also teething, also not eating, also full of snot - but he thinks that in our case it's a viral thing.

    We're just playing it by ear and offering food or bottles or water when he seems to want something and letting him sleep when he seems to need it. If you are worried about keeping his energy levels up, how about some watered down juice? Our GP suggested it, but it doesn't seem to be agreeing with our boy too much.

    BW - yes gp said viral URTI so no ABs just panadol and fluids.
    They suggested weake cordial at one stage so may try that.
