My poor guy- he's 10 (but autistic) so he can't accurately describe how bad he feels- I just mostly get moaning with the occasional " Huuurrrtss.."
Anyway, his fever has been running up to 103, he won't eat (or drink!), and I didn't want to wait until Monday for him to get seen.
So it's strep (which I thought it might be).
Problem is, he won't eat and the antibiotics are supposed to given with food. How do you manage that?
I just had him eat one cracker (all he would manage) and drink a sip of gatorade. Hopefully he won't puke up his meds!
I HATE seeing my children sick; I'd take it from them in a heartbeat. Nothing makes me feel more helpless!
