Come into a+e with a temperature of 38.6 seen me straight away as was in hersterix crying with pain. Triage took me round to a bed and doctor's put me straight on a drip and gave me morphine and codeine to relax mey also gave me oxygen to reduce the pain with my head ache. Bloods come back abnormal which shown I had a swelling.on my brain and that I had a virus in my body.
