if it was my DD i would go to the childrens emergency at the hospital. even though you will probably just sit around waiting for a few hours and then they wont have much to say to you (in my experience DD has always had a virus which is not treatable) at least you will feel like you are doing something, and getting the best help possible.
i agree dont give a cool bath., use a luke warm wash cloth and dab it over his head and neck. continue with panadol or sometimes nurofen can work a little better, put him in a singlet and nappy (but try not to get him overly cool as witht the cold bath it can lead to convulsions) and keep offering water.
if he isnt eating it isnt so much of a problem as if he isnt drinking.
try to relax and not worry if it gets too high, the doctors always tell me that a temp is a good sign because it means his body is fighting the infection.
but yep, i would go and see the hospital.
let us know how it all goes!
oh yeah, i dont recommend 131 health, because all they do is ask a series of many many questions and then say you should go to the doctor. i have called them a couple of times and i feel it is a waste of time.
