    Im worried now but dont want to run off to the hosp and look like an idiot if its nothing.
    I would go.

    Honestly, the triage nurses, in my experience, always seem sympathetic to high temps. They won't think you are an idiot!

    (I had to take Charlie in a few months back, he had high temps that weren't responding to Panadol, and we took him to hospital, and like you I did feel like a bit of a nelly, but I am glad I did, as they were so sympathetic, and it turned out he had Parvo Virus, which isn't serious, but at least I knew, IYKWIM?)

    If it were me sweets, I would go to the hosp, just to put your mind at rest. He sounds like he is not himself at all, poor little man.

    ETA, just had a thought.......are you able to ring your GP and tell them the situation? Do they so emergency appts for babies? That may be a good compromise....although they may end up suggesting you take him to hosp anyway?

    Good luck. xx
