My 10yr old son is so sick
My 10yr old son presented on Sunday with a low grade fever, loss of appetite and very tired.. Monday his temp fluctuated between 102/103. He was dizzy, not hungry,chills and quick shallow breathing. Tuesday morning saw pediatrician temp was 103.2. tested negative for flu & strep. Given a 10 day RX for augmentin 1.5 tsp 2x a day and motrin & Tylenol throughout the day. Wednesday nosebleed occurred, dizzy, had his temp under control until 7pm when it went up to 100.1. I am call the doc this am to inform him of nosebleed, excessive sleepiness, loss of appetite,and just not himself. First thing that I thought of was meningitis, do the symptoms match what meningitis would present as with my sons situation? Should I be concerned?
