I know a mother who is currently in Asia and if their 1 year old baby has a temperature when they take him to the doctors they immediately put a drip in the baby's fore head. This sounds absolutely rediculous to me. It actually stops the mother taking the child to the doctors unless he is really bad. Like now he has a slight temperature and a cough but they are monitoring him and if he getrs worse they will take him to the doctors. What would you suggest? Take him at the slightest temperature and get him filled up with drugs or wait and see if it worsens but how can you tell if it bad enough to take him to the doctors? I know kids get ill quite a lot and recover quickly so when do you take them to the doctors?

I'm begining to wonder if its possible to drown in your own snot!

I just noticed that ratter asked if she was still using tena for men in one of the threads. I guess it must have been some sort of 'in joke' then?

Gawd, sometimes AB drives me insane trying to figure out all the inuendos and stuff :-/

It's just not nice to pretend to be a nurse when some users might take the advise seriously...

ummmm

Poodi works in a care home...so does RATTER...
