She's 6 and has been unwell on and off since November- tonsilitis, then a tummy bug, then chicken pox over the Christmas hols. She seemed to be getting over the cp but then last week went downhill again- intermittent high temperature (39.9 today), very lethargic and has been sick a few times.

I will of course take her to the GP but if anyone has anything useful to offer I would be grateful.

I've been through bad phases with mine, when it seems to be just one bug after another after another, compacted one year by the two oldest getting chicken pox either side of a school half-term holiday. We have had winter seasons when one or another has seemed to be ill for almost 3 mths coming out of one thing into another. In the whole grand scale of things it has always been minor illnesses but worrying at the time and esp when it seems relentless.


Just have to grin and bare it, do get her checked but she will soon be out of it and you will have winters when you don't remember her being ill :)

Latest bug sounds like what my 2 (4 & 6) had before Christmas. Sorry to say, it took mine about a week each to get over it. Nothing that wrong just VERY lethargic with high temps coming and going and the odd sick bout. If you have the time, just get the duvets out and lots of cbeebies / films etc. I would almost have enjoyed the excuse to slow down if it hadn't been the week before Christmas!!!


But you have my sympathies, what with all that's gone before it for you too.

My daughter has been on and off this winter catching everything. Its been a bad winter for bugs and illnesses to say the least. My daughter is 3 and started pre-school in September, since starting she had a constant cold that has only just cleared up. She missed the last 4 weeks due to staph infection, vomiting bug, chesty cough and fever. Its just been everything in one. She's never been a child to get ill apart from UTI's. I've just ordered a load of Sambucol online to boost her immune system and am going to continue to give it throughout the summer too. Hope your daughter is back to her usual self soon, sympathies here too xx

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
