Hi. C's temp up all day. Started at 38.1 this morning. Went to 38.8 by time found calpol, went to 38.1 with calpol. V sleepy/lethargic or screaming all day. Temp stayed at 38.5 with calpol this eve. Got appointment with out of hours gp.
Their thermometers had ALL been sent to be fixed?!?! So she used a paper thing under his arm. Said temp was 37.5 . Now I know they arent accurate. Abd just to touch him u could feel he was def hotter. Said viral. I took him home, was stil 38.5 as I thought. He's in bed. Awake, not crying, jut occasionally makes noise. He had calpol an hour and a half ago, but temp is now 39.4. Any suggestions?!
He's on inhalers (won't confirm asthma due to age) so I can't risk giving him nurofen too!
Help??! X
