Dd is 11 and has felt rough all day. She looks very pale and has a sore chest with no cough.
She has now got a temperature of 39 and a headache.
I'm quite worried as she's never ill.
Just thought it was odd to have the sore chest with no cough or cold.

I don't think it sounds like classic pleurisy by the way but was the only thing I could think of really

No there's no sharp pain just a soreness to the chest when she tried to cough or breathe deeply. Just waiting for paracetamol to work. Never seen her this poorly.

That sounds just like pleurisy as I understood it?

Yes I will do but the symptoms are so odd I thought I'd get opinions while I wait for the callback. Thank you.

Sorry don't mean to alarm you!
Probably not pneumonia but just to bear it in mind.
Hope she is well soon .

I wondered that artic she has picked up somewhat now though. I can hear her mooching around now when she's meant to be asleep!

DS1(18) had this last weekend, then his throat felt raw, and he has had a hacking cough, really bad cold, shivers, aches and pains all week! He has managed 2 days at school.

DS2(16)started to come down with it on Wednesday night, but had to go to school yesterday because he has science GCSE work. He is coughing like he is on 50 a day, he is asthmatic, and I had to change his bed twice last night because he was sweating so much!

It's nasty!
