My son came out covered in spots today, I took him to the doctor who told me it was an allergic reaction to something (not sure what but could have been cows milk?) So I brought him home.
All day he was crying, not wanting to be held, rocked, sleep, play, sit, lay.... nothing, he just cried & cried.
I finally got him to bed around 6pm (he was sooooooo tired) which is his usual bedtime. He usually sleeps through til 6:30am without so much as a peep. He has been stirring & making little cry sounds & also a bit of coughing since I put him down. I've checked on him several times because this is out of the ordinary.
I was just on my way to bed & as usual checked the kids. Tobias felt awfully hot (he doesnt even have his normal sleeping bag on, just a bonds wondersuit, thats it, not even a blanket etc) so I took his temperature. It's 38.9, I checked a few times & it's still the same (haven't checked in past 5 mins, I will again when I've finished typing this)
Should I be worried? (Well I am anyway) what would you do if it was your child? I dont know whether I should call the after hours home visit doctor (I dont even know if he visits this late) I'm a little nervous just leaving him to see how he is in the morning. There has been one CONFIRMED swine flu case at DD's daycare so I've been extra attentive since then to coughs etc.
Please give me some advice, I cant go to sleep like this........
