Hi goldilocks. NHS 111 said calpol and nurofen together. Which he as taken. Temp as gone down to 38. 111 said he needs further assessment and some will call me back within 2 days. And he may require testing. Just got him to drink some juice! Self isolate for 7 days just in case

In general, if young children get Covid-19 then it is quite mild for them, it appears, although there are always exceptions to any rule. However there are many things out there ('normal' flu being one) which young children can also catch, and which may be far more uncomfortable for them. Follow the advice you are getting - and hydration is particularly important for children - with a temperature they will be losing moisture.

Guardian article today that may be worth reading on how ibuprofen is not wise to take for Covid-19 (which I pray your little one does not have).


The Guardian article was sourced from the French Health Minister's twitter feed, which was later believed to have been hacked. So it is possible that the advice against using anti-inflammatories is wrong. Or not. It's probably safer to stick to paracetamol for now, but it may not be necessary. If you have been taking Ibuprofen maybe stop, but don't worry unnecessarily.


Anyway Calpol for a child is much safer - make sure any drug you give is specified for the right age.

    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
