Gutted for you mate,
Being 19 with no kids i cant imagine how it must feel when your babies ill,
But feeling for you anyway buddy!

[SilverSchoolBus]

Don't listen to NHS direct in this case, if you have ANY concern, take you little one to the nearest A & E.

.....anyone had similar issues

Not quite the same but when my Henry had issue with his breathing a couple of years ago ( he was 1 1/2) I took no chances and took him to A & E despite NHS direct said it was nothing!

I have suffered simular occurences through my childrens up bringing but can't remember the full details as my youngest is 8 and my oldest is 22 going on 8 lol.
All I would say is keep watching him and if you are in any doubt take him straight to hospital as they have more idea than us mortals.
good luck and hope he's well soon.

Take him to a&e as already said mate, its not worth the risk and it will put your mind at rest. Its better to be safe than sorry. Hope he gets well soon.

wet nappies ??? thats *******s , think the concern is that your baby does not dehydrate ,
one true way of watching out for dehydration is to look at the eyes . if they look dry then get yourself to A&E asap .

as others have said though if you got any worries or concerns get yourself straight to A&E .

they`ll be more than happy to check your baby out and if alls well they`ll even say you did the right thing .

better safe than sorry .

been in similar situations myself when my lad was a baby and as he was our 1st we had our concerns .

don`t listen to GP`s or advice given over the phone . if you feel you thinks it best to go to hospital then go ,

fingers crossed your baby will be drinking well soon and filling the nappies as usual

nhs direct dont know what there talkin about my son had a temp of 39 they said it was normal 30 mins later he started fitting took him to a n e he had a viral infection n they kept him in for 2 days!! Hes ur son if ur worried dont hesitate to take him

[miniman]

If your unsure and feeling nervous about his health go straight to A & E, it makes sense, even if its ok, at the end you will feel better with yourself for going to A & E.

Please do it.

never had this myself but i know where i would be right now - NHS direct try to avoid you going hospital, the amount of storys i have heard about it is unreal.

get yourself down to the hospital mate, thats what there for is you have any medical issues.

hope all is ok

[SilverSchoolBus]

Not being funny but I would go there NOW if I was you, as they will have the drunks to deal with in an hour or two time, go there quick.

he`s offline now so looks like he`s gone to A&E . hopefully everything will be ok but as we all said , it`s better safe than sorry .
