Hello
My 12 week old boy (6.5 weeks prem) is just recovering from meningitus & picked up a 'viral infection' in hospital. He's dribbling like a tap, screaming when I try to breastfeed him, feeding every hour but only for a little while so not getting any hind-milk, has a slight fever but is very hot & sweaty, has very sore bleeding lips. The doc says its just a viral infection & oral thrush, but he's had it for 2 weeks now & getting no better. He is far sicker now than when he had his meningitus & I'm trying not to be too paranoid, but the same doc mis-diagnosed his meningitus as colic!!! He is seeing another doc tomorrow, but not sure I can leave it that long as he ended up on life support a few weeks ago withon hours of being sick. NHS direct told me to just keep an eye of things & take him to the hospital if he gets worse. He had his 1st jabs 2 days ago, but he had all these symptoms before that. HELP!!!!
