Jacob is sick, Again. has had a high temp for 3 days now (39.5) went to GP yesterday (earliest I could get in) DS had a double ear infection a few weeks back, thought it might be the same thing, except he has tis funny little cough thing going on as well, and has been screaming for about 3 hrs every night (12-3am)

The GP looked in his ears and gave him the all clear, took his temp (39.3) and looked at his throat and DS promptly threw up all over him. I was told it was Tonsilitis, given script for ABS and told to 4 hrly dose with panadol etc.

got script, gave him a dose and some panadol, he had a sleep,...........next dose, more panadol, bath and bed etc, as soon as went to have a feed (still BFing) he threw up his dinner all over me and our bed.

Last time he was sick I had trouble giving him panadol, he would just throw it straight back up, so I rushed out and bought some suppositories, not fun, but it worked, he had a feed then went to sleep.
woke at around midnight, screaming, fed him first, then he came off and threw up the entire feed all over me, and kept chucking, temp was 39.5, he was shaking and twitchy, got another supp in, then he had a massive diarrhea poo, which made the supp pretty useless.
At this pointI got scared, I rang the parents helpline who told me to give him another supp, and take him to hospital, so I did. In that time DS had thrown up around 6-8 x.
I pulled myself together and jumped in the car with DS, got to hospital at around 2am, by this time DS temp had gone down and he was being his cheeky self, charming the doctor and nurses.
So the Doc at ED says that its possibly a reaction to the ABs, he also said that DS has no signs of tonsilitis, his tonsils all looked clear but his throat was a little red, he told me to give him another dose of ABS this morning, but if he started chucking again not to give him anymore. If his temp went back up and the symptoms continued over the next 24hrs to take him back in to ED.

We got home at around 5:30am, DS asleep straight away, then he woke at 7am and had another feed and threw up allover me again, temp was back up to 38, gave another supp, then he had another poo, diarrhea again. He went back to sleep.
Woke at 10am, gave panadol by mouth this time, no chucks,
I rang a pharmacist friend of mine and asked if he thought I should be giving DS the ABs, he said if it was his kids, he wouldnt. so I havent.

so now I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do or think, am considering making another Doc appt, but I wont get in anywhere for another day or so, by which time this might all be over, DS still has a temp but he hasnt chucked now since 7am. I am giving him lots of water, which he is guzzling down, lots of BFs, he isnt interested in food.
I just really dont want to have another night like last night. My poor baby, It hurts so much to see him in such obvious distress, and there is not a lot I can do about it.
I suppose this is more of a vent and a rant than anything. If you read all this, Thankyou, you deserve a chockie and a lie down. x
