I almost got a heart attack last night

I nearly had a heart attack last night, I was doing some shopping outside with my sick two-year-old son
who was in a pushchair, my son had a very bad flu but still kept asking to go to the bouncy house, I was like okay what the hell let's go, and on our way back he slept in the pushchair since he was still sick, anyways I was walking and pushing him and I can't face him while he is in the pushchair, and this little child maybe 5 or 8 but short, came to us and started yelling Mam mam your son your son something is wrong with your son and he started pointing at his mouth then his mother shouted at him and told him to stop it, the place is very crowded and I am stressed, I look at my son and he is foaming in the mouth and I just check if his neck and everything is fine he had a slight fever but he was fine , I still took him to the pharmacist nearby who said we can't prescribe him anything he is fine you can just use viks vapor rup, that kid really scared me I thought my sweet Leo was dying but it was just from breathing through his mouth due to the flu while sitting on the pushchair, when I think of how that kid scared me makes me really hate children.

@Collegegirl23 i know thats a very scary thing you fed of his energy he paniced which made you panic. Im glad he's okay. Is he breathing better now?

@Bklynbadboy12 yeah much better now, the kid face did make me panic he had that death stare and I did see someone almost die last year and they were foaming in the mouth, so it was traumatic for me when they said that.

@Collegegirl23 im so sorry you had to go through that and im glad hes feeling better
I'm not sure you can hate anyone for best intentions. It could have been a medical emergency and you could have walked home to a dead baby. You should be thankful the kid saw something unusual and had the presence of mind to say something to alert you.

@ScreamingFox I was in a public play area and the people working there were coughing non stop it was the flu season literally all the staff were sick! I didn't go to a private room and it's good for him to be out in the sunshine, we actually got that virus from someone and they weren't even showing any signs

@ScreamingFox he didn't say it in a good way he said it in a mean way and that kid is mean most of the time to his sister and always beating on his sister so when he said it to me I panicked I thought something bad has happened, I don't know if you have children or not cause if you don't then you won't get it.

@Collegegirl23 I have an eleven year old son that doesn't go to the bouncy house anymore because people bring their sick kids and he always ends up sick. There's plenty of places to go besides a place full of people.

You said you "hate children", ma'am, so no I don't feel empathy for you. I feel empathy for kids. And I stand by what I said, that child was likely spooked to see your kid foaming at the mouth. Hell I'm an adult and probably would of said something out of respect for you and your child because I care.

You could chalk it up to a lesson for yourself and not blaming a child for being scared.. and saying everyone was sick is not a good reason to validate your choice. It's like you forgot COVID ever happened.
