hi all,

Pip currently has, according to the GP, a "virus".

His symptoms are
  • snotty nose
  • swollen eyes
  • cough
  • no temp?
  • Possibly 2 spots at the top of his jaw (about a 50c coin, red & in line between eye & top of ear) on sunday night


We've been told to wash his eyes 3 times a day or as needed (just water, not baby shampoo like we had previously with conjuctivitis)

The doc hasn't given us any indications as to what it might be, other than Pip having the whole week of CC and that he was infectious. He is waking during the night, I think in pain, and drinking a lot (hurrah!). Mumps weren't mentioned (my DH took Pip to the docs and doesn't ask as many questions as I do!).

Are there any current bugs doing the rounds that fit this "virus"? BetterHealth suggests mumps but ...
