Well my poor little boy has had a rough few weeks, he felt ill and we took him to see the Doctor who diagnosed an ear infection and prescribed amoxycillan medicine on the Wednesday evening. We thought he was picking up but on the Sunday evening he started shivering and complaining that he was cold, I undressed him for bed and noticed his skin looked mottled alarm bells started ringing. I immediately phoned our out of hours Doctor service which is located in the local hospital, they said to bring him straight in.
When we got there his temperature was taken it was 40.2!!! The Doc explained that the shivering and mottled skin was associated with the high temp and told us that the ear infection was not responding to the amoxycillan, she prescribed a new antibiotic which thankfully worked and his high temp. went down.
When he finished the new antibiotic on the Friday morning, he started vomiting and could not keep anything down, we visited the clinic again, the said it could be the last of the antibiotic making him sick so it should clear up within 24 hours. He seemed fine by Sunday evening so we decided to send him into pre-school.
We got a call from his school to say he had been sick, which equalled another trip to the clinic, where after a water sample was tested he was diagnosed with a water infection, he was then prescribed another type of antibiotic which thankfully have worked. He is now back to his boisterous self :). The medical service in this area has been excellent and we have been able to get appointments as and when we needed them. He missed out on his half term break, so we have a lot of trips out to make up for!!!!
As my OH's favourite saying goes All's Well, that Ends Well.....
