FWIW, my DS had a lot of ent issues. Sometimes ear pain can be felt like head pain to kids. All of his ent issues caused him to be sweat and just feel yuck overall. Hoping it's something simple with an easy fix
It's ok, I already scared myself by consulting Dr Google.. XH just called again to say he wasn't feeling well again etc and has been really tired today and has a cold or whatever. The thing making me nervous now is that he said DS had been all sweaty, but apparently not running a fever. And it's not hot today. Quite often when I check on him at night he's all sweaty and I honestly don't know if he's just overdressed for the weather or if it's something else. I never thought twice about it before now.
Will def take him to the doctor tomorrow (Monday here) and see what he thinks. He's usually pretty thorough.
Sorry about your friends daughter easamae, I hope she's going ok.
Thank you! They don't know yet. It's pretty rare with a 1% survival rate but they are doing everything they can for her. I'm sure your DS will be fine! Hope he feels better soon!
I don't want to scare you, but this happened to a friends daughter recently. She complained of a headache and pains. They brought her in and the doctor said it was growing pains. A few days later she began to have trouble walking, so that brought her in and it turned out she has DIPG, a rare form of cancer.
When in doubt, take your child in. It could be nothing or it could be something. Either way, I'd want to know.
She said she's taking her kid to the damn dr. GTFO with this.
I'm sorry, I thought this was a public forum where one could participate in threads. If you don't like that, maybe you should GTFO.
I hope it is one of those things where he could be having growing pains and maybe headaches related to his sinuses but happening at the same time. Kids should not have headaches, so if he is complaining about that, it is definitely worth checking out and might just be his vision starting to go wonky.
Hope he feels better soon and you get some answers!
Also, was he sweaty just hanging out or while sleeping at his dad's house? My kids run warm and my youngest is always a sweaty sleeper.
Thanks everyone the good news is that he slept fine last night and seems pretty good this morning. I asked if his head hurt or any other part of his body and he says no, so that's a positive.
He does seem to have a cold and he may have a sinus issue but I think I'll wait and see how he is as the day progresses. If it's only a cold I don't want to waste the doctors time obviously. I think I'll start a log in my phone so I can record if he complains of odd things again, then I don't have to rely on my memory.

I'm relieved to have him home with me again. :-)
You can try tapping his sinuses with your fingers and see if the areas seem sensitive. If so, then you might want to take him in. Glad that he did well overnight!

Oh, I just tried this and he said it hurt.. so I'll definitely keep an eye on it.. his snot seems to be getting less disgusting as the morning progresses, so that's a good sign lol
He makes it hard to tell sometimes if things are more serious or not since he just tends to go about his business regardless of how he's feeling. He's ended up in the ER a few times with asthma and I'm just glad that it's happened when he's been with me rather than his dad.
