hi, my 2 1/2 year old son has been unwell for about 3 weeks now. he has had high fevers on and off, been very miserable, but the biggest thing worrying me that he wakes through the night up to every hour rolling around the bed crying, screaming and kicking like he is in pain. when i ask him what hurts he becomes inconsolable. i have taken him to our local GP but he screamed when he tried to check him over so he put it down to a viral infection. he gave us some antibiotics that we started yesterday and today he had a jelly like substance in his nappy. i am getting very concerned that there is really wrong with him. can you help?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of on and off high fever which could be due to viral infection, infectious mononucleosis, sinusitis and respiratory tract infection. Need not worry.  I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done and start treatment after complete examination.  You should take multivitamin tablet as well to booster immunity. Avoid excessive oily food and cold beverages. You should go for blood and urine tests for confirmation of diagnosis.  Chat Doctor.  Take antibiotic along with cough expectorant and NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen for 3-5 days. Chew vitamin C pellet daily. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
