My child is ill and we are on holiday
ANTOINETTE:
Hi Meg
We are away on a much deserved holiday. The last holiday was over 8 months ago and it has been a busy year for our family. We have had a marvellous time but Tom (3) has become ill and I don’t have anything with me to help him. He has a cough, a bad cold and is running a high temperature. Nothing too serious, but I don’t know what I can do to make him feel more comfortable without my medicines for him and his usual home comforts. He is getting upset and missing home and we still have 3 days to go. He also wants to sleep a lot more than he usually does at home. Should I let him just rest or should I try to keep him in his usualy routine? I don’t think he needs to go to a doctor, but do you know any home remedies or tips that I can help him with whatever I can get my hands on from the hotel? Thanks
