well i hope your antiobiotics get you fighting fit soon,its not nice when your ill with a small baby forever worrying lol, yea they have the same name lol im just awkward and wanted to spell it slighty differant

xxxxxxxxx

no it doesnt!!can anyone watch the kiddies for you till u get back?If not then leave in really good time and take it slow,stop for rests on the way.

i found it hard walking to my drs,its a 20min walk and i only have a single pram,my throat felt like it was closing up when i got there!

i hope u feel better soon hun and ur little boy too (who has the same name as my lo almost....tayler/taylor :-)

xx

ugghh maybe i should make an appoinment then its just..........with me being ill,tayler having mumps and an 8 week old i find it impossible to get down to the docs its a 45 min walk away  and pushing my heavy double buggy when im ill doesnt sound like fun to me lol 

yeah she gave me a course of anti-biotics,iv gotta go back this afternoon to have my contraceptive implant thing put in so il pick them up then

u should go hun,mumps is awful and its worse in adults.......it will take longer to clear up without any anti-biotics....ooh get me being all bossy!lol

x

hope you get better soon hun its horrid,can i ask did the doc give you anything? ive got a bout at the min along with mumps but havnt been to docs as i didnt think they would give me anything so im grinning and bareing it atm

Thanks ladies

I went to the drs this morning and it turns out i have tonsilitus...iv never had it b4 and its awful,i feel so sorry for people who suffer with it loads!

she said Taylor probably wont get it but if he does get the snuffles i can give him a little infant calpol.

thankyou for ur replies

xx

my cerys had a chest infection at 4 weeks old and the doc give her antibotics and calpol for her temp, i thought you couldn t give anything before two months but i rechecked with the chemist and they said only give if the doc has prescriped. she is 9 weeks now and has asthma so she has to take a pump 4 times a day now as well, hope all babes are well and don t worry jo.

im afraid theres not much you can give him over the counter,but if you visit the docs they might be able to give something xxxxxxxxx

Bloody hell hun i hope ur little one is ok now!

Uv scared me even more now tho!il stay away from him as much as i can....

anyone know if i can give him anything if he does get it?

Oh sorry to hear this hun hope all is 100% now massive huggs xx

aww huni big hugs im a 2nd timer and im worried sick at the min tayler my 18 month old has got mumps,  ive now got mumps an a throat infection and im worried sick that evanns going to catch it this moring he was dribbling loads and im scared hes now got it,my thoroat hurts that much im spitting in a cup sorry tmi and im scared hes dribbling becasue it hurts him to swallow

its not nice but so far since evanns been born ive had 2 bouts of gastroenteritus, 2 colds and mumps as of yet he hasnt caught anything,so you might be ok 

It doesnt get any better hun Alfie is my 4th and I am sure I worry more this time round.

You can give calpol at 2 months no probs, and afraid you cannot keep all the bugs away from them, my poor man has had snuffles since been born.

Speak to you HV hun xxx

Just re-read that and i sound totally paranoid but im a first timer so i worry about everything lol

What if Taylor catches it...i have a throat infection and am off to drs on tues but am really worried Taylor will catch it,obviously i have no choice but to pick him up and be near him so my germs must be going all over him!Can i give him anything if he does catch it cos a lot of medicines i looked at said he has to be over 2 months and 4kg's he is 6+2 wks and weighs 3.84kgs i think.
