JULIE Thompson was horrified to learn about a so-called 'white lung syndrome' sweeping parts of China.<\/p>\n
But what she'd read about in the news turned into a real-life nightmare when her son fell ill with the condition. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Little Joel first showed signs of being unwell in late November.<\/p>\n
He had a fever, his tummy "felt funny", and his left shoulder was hurting, his mum said. <\/p>\n
When the six-year-old started to go off his food, a panicked Julie took him to see the family doctor – but they were assured he was fine.<\/p>\n
"He was lethargic and I couldn't control the fever, it kept coming back up and he would not move," she said in a TikTok video.<\/p>\n
