Cough getting worse (with temp)
I am getting a little concerned with Nixon's cough. He started couging about 3 days ago nothing serious so i just thought he likes the sound of it and is deliberatly doing it, he seemed to be his normal happy self. but just today Its got a lot deeper and been couging more. he was coughing more on the plane today(just been to qld) then again tonight.
he is now also coughing in his sleep every 40min or so. not really disturbing him he goes straight back to sleep.
For the first time EVER he hasnt been finishing his bottles. 2nd feed today was a bf and really didnt think i had much or he got much so gave him a bottle but he didnt even attempt to have any, then this arvo had a bottle and he left 50ml and tonights bottle he left 110ml. i think yesterday he left about 50ml on both of his 2 bottle feeds he has
so i have taken his temp. 1st 37.5 2nd 37.8 3rd 37.6
He felt ok but when putting him to bed his face felt quiet hot (not the rest of his body just head) did temps again and got 38.5 then 38.9 then 38.8
so i have given him some panadol, was wondering at what temp does it become a concern and should go to medical centre or hospital??
Nixon has never been sick yet (i know pretty lucky to have escaped it this far) so i really dont know what to do or how he acts.
now ofcourse its the weekend so wont be able to go to my gp and would really prefer to see her then any random medical centre.....
