they often do perk upduring the day, if you have to pay a lrage cancellation fee maybe take him anyway. It depends for me what the other symptoms are, eg ear ache or pussy tonsils/stink breath I will take them, if the whole family is having a run of a viral cold and have had temps with it I tend not to.

Im suprised they don't bulk bill children. Whenever I have taken my kids to a GP they always bulk bill the kids, they get an incentive payment from the government to bulk bill children under 16 and concession card holders

Hope he stays well now
