Throat infection

Following on from my last post, poor Ben is still sick. He spent most of yesterday with a temp and being totally miserable. Thankfully he slept his usual 12 hours last night.

This morning he woke up with yet another temp of 39.6 (103.2F), so off to the doctor we went. The doctor looked in his ears and throat, and tells us he has a very inflamed throat. He’s given him a prescription for some Amoxicillin anti-biotics. No wonder our poor boy has been off his food, his throat is probably very painful.

We’ve been keeping up the regular Panadol and Nurofen today and so far the temps have been lower. He’s still miserable and melodramatic and tired, but we’re hoping these antibiotics will help him get better soon.

Oh poor baby! And poor mums too. Nothing is worse than an inflamed throat, it hurts terribly. Hopefully he will start feeling better fast; i bet some icecream would soothe his sore throat. :) Icecream always makes me feel better.
