Louie has had a temp and sore throat - well swollen throat because his voice is funny and closed iyswim? - for a week now. It's been managed fine with paracetamol and ibuprofen and he's not complaining of feeling ill, but I'm wondering how long I should keep with the home meds or if he should go to the doctor? He does tend to suffer with tonsillitis but isn't showing any other signs of this....yet. bearing in mind G had glandular fever over the summer would you take him docs to get checked over?

I would seeing as he's had it for a week & if no signs of improvement. Hope he's better asap.

Has he had the temp a week? then yes I would.

I would as well, I would have expected it to be clearing up by now.  

We have just had similar with R and they gave him an inhaler which cleared it up in 48hrs.

Yep a temp but not a raging temp and it's been managed fine with medicine plus he's been fine in himself. I'll book doctors for this afternoon

Yes I'd go and get him checked over. He might need something a bit stronger to help him fight the germs.

Yes, I would get him checked over

Yes i think i would too. Hope he is better soon x

Can't get an appointment at the doctors, need to try again tomorrow

Connagh has been the same all week...temp of between 39 and 40....funny voice, but ok in himself. This morning he screamed when he drank his juice so took him to the quacks. He has acute tonsillitis and an ear infection. I feel terrible for not taking him sooner but like Louie there were no other signs xx hope he is ok babe xx

Oh poor Conks! x

If he was feeling ok in himself I wouldn't take him but since he suffers from tonsilitis I would worry more. Hope he feels better tomorrow.

Munchkin hope conks feels better soon, poor little man.

Such a rubbish time of year for illnesses. Hope you get an appointment tomorrow Belle, best to get checked out I would say. Hope C is better soon too Munchkin x

Hope everyone is feeling better this morning. There's so many germs going around :-(

How is Louie Belle?

How Is Lou and Conks?x

Lou is fine in himself but swollen tonsils and managed to get doctors appointment for 5.10 today. Honestly the reception needs a slap she was so rude about me not being able to get there at 10am I explained I'm at work and he is in nursery and she wa slike "you sent him to nursery with a suspected illness" I said yes because you didn't deem it an emergency last night for him to have an appointment and I was told to call today so until I have an appointment I NEED to work.

BIATCH!

What is with some of these people?! Rude.

Hope its nothing serious and he feels better soon x

Bloody docs think everyone can get there at the drop of a hat!

Tonsillitis. Oops!
