Romeo in new health drama

Romeo Beckham has been taken to hospital for the fourth time in three months.

His parents took the three-year-old to a private clinic in Madrid after he developed a fever and his temperature soared to 104F.

Doctors diagnosed the early stages of bronchitis after carrying out tests and keeping him in overnight. He is now in bed at David and Victoria Beckham's £5million mansion in Madrid.

In October the boy was admitted to hospital twice with convulsions.

Romeo was first taken to the accident and emergency department of Madrid's La Paz Hospital. Two days later he was taken to the Ruber International Clinic in Madrid with a temperature of 107F after a second fit. At the start of August, Victoria, 31, took Romeo to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow near her 'Beckingham Palace' home in Hertfordshire after he had a convulsion.

The latest incident was on Monday evening, when the couple flew back to Madrid by private jet.

Beckham, 30, had lavished flowers and gifts on his wife during a night in London to help her get over the stress of their son's problems.

Romeo spent Monday night at the Ruber Clinic. A source there said: 'Romeo's complaint is different from previous occasions and bronchial-type infections are common among children his age.'
