Hi.
My 4 yr old boy has been suffering on and off for 2 1/2 months now. Started with tonsillitus, ear infections, high temperatures( upto 40 degs), not eating (although drinking) and generally tired and well just unwell.
He`s had a couple of courses of antibiotics which haven`t really achieved much.He seems to be living on Nurofen and paracetamol at the mo for his temperature which was about 38 earlier.
Some of his school friends have been suffering as well so he`s not alone. One was taken to hospital last week but despite tests is no further on.
The Dr saw him again on Friday and did a thorough examination. ie. chest (clear), urine(ok),ears which were inflammed,throat a little inflammed. But nothing which really gave any cause for concern.
So my question is, is it something that other children on this forum suffered with?If so any answers??! Is it a stubborn virus that will eventually burn itself out?? Any help/advice will be greatly received.
