Heartbroken parents have been awarded a compensation payout after their four-year-old son died of sepsis following doctors telling them to “give him Calpol”.
The parents of Daniel Klosi pleaded with medics to give him blood tests as they were concerned he was seriously ill, but the child was repeatedly sent away from hospital.
Distraught mum and dad Lindita Alushi, 44, and Kastriot Klosi, 51, took Daniel to The Royal Free Hospital in Camden, north London, four times during the week before his death.
Two of these trips to hospital saw them sent home with instructions to give him Calpol and Ibuprofen. Daniel was only admitted to a children's emergency department after his parents visited hospital twice in one day, on April 1, 2023, after waiting for four hours in A&E, an inquest heard.
By that time though the tot was visibly deteriorating - and died only a few hours later in the early hours of the following morning. His grief-stricken parents, who live in Kentish Town in London, instructed medical negligence lawyers Irwin Mitchell to look into their son’s death.
