Rang GP. GP said to wait 48 hours to see if he needed any more antibiotics.
He said he may need hospital intervention.
He's started coughing today. Which got worse this morning. Which is why the doctor said he might need intervention.
So, instead of waiting 48 hours, me and my son, rang 999. They arranged a call back from a paramedic, who said it sounds like he needs to be in hospital. So he sent an ambulance.
They came and assessed him. They said he was boarder line needing hospital treatment.
The thing is, all this could pass at home, if he goes into hospital, and he hasn't got covid, he could catch it. On the other hand, he could already have it, plus the infection he's got. They even called our GP, who told them he would take their lead on this, so, because he has no breathing difficulties at the moment, it was decided, it's best to leave him in the house. We have to watch and see.
For some unknown reason, taking paracetamol is making his temperature soar instead of lowering it.
So they've told him to only take one instead of two. it's actually called something, but I can't remember what they said. They said to call back if needed and they?ll take him in if he gets any worse.
They also said, they'd been to someone this morning, who was on day 22 of this virus, and was really poorly. Some people get over it after a couple days, a week, some longer. They just can't predict how it's going to react from one person to another . ....xx
