Michael came home from school today acting weird...tired(more than usual), cranky, and a little feverish(he also had a hard time keeping warm??). He took a nap, woke up feeling worse, and crying. Then after a while he acted like he was feeling better. He also has 2 cold sores on his mouth(he has never had one of those before)...can I put the blistex type stuff on that? Should I keep him home from school to make sure he is okay? Arg....I don't know what to do.

I would say if he has a fever and is not feeling so great just keep him home. It will be easier than having to go back in and get him from school.

Yeah, could be a secondary reaction to a different infection source. if you can gt him into the doc I would. Has he had cold sores like this before???

I would definitely keep him home, at the minimum to be able to observe him closely & see if he needs to see a MD. He might just have the flu... but, it's easier to deal with if he's home.

Yep, I'm pretty sure you can put Blistex on cold sores... I think they may have something specifically for that.

Michael had this happen to him a few weeks ago. He had a mouth sores and I took him to the pediatrician. They prescribed a mixture of Benadryl and Malox to coat his mouth for the pain.

The doctor told me it was a secondary infection (bacterial infection).

I hope your Michael feels better soon.
