DS (2yo) is poorly. He was lethargic all day yesterday and clingy/tired/weepy all day today. He's eaten fine. His nappies are a little drier than normal, but nothing major. When asked what was wrong he said his knees hurt
He's just woken up after throwing up and I noticed a rash on his shoulder (teeny tiny pale spots) as I washed him. I didn't think to press the spots as I just didn't think he was that ill - and he is prone to get rashes every time he is poorly. Now I've done the NHS symptom checker thing and all of those first 'emergency' questions have freaked me out.
I don't want to go and check the spots as I've don't want to disturb him any more so remind me oh wise ones, what are the other symptoms of meningitis? Should I be worrying?
