Every 7-10 days my ds goes into meltdown. It is the same each time,
fever, running nose, cough, wheeze, red and flushed, refuses to eat, cant sleep etc he is just miserable. After 2-4 days of this a tooth magically appears and he improves again.
Last nite he woke about 30minutes after going down with a fever. Gave him pamol, stripped him off, sponged him, gave him inhalers, bfed and cuddled him. Dh and I were with him all nite as he fretted and fussed, we took turns until 3 am when dh went to bed and I rocked in the rocking chair with him until this morning. Today he has been pretty much the same (ended up giving him nurofen as well as pamol) I am exhausted and have just put him to bed where he is very upset and am going in every 5 minutes to check. I know he is still not 100% but I really need a break am I being too mean going in every 5 minutes or should I hop back in the rocking chair for the nite?
