HELP! High temp and a very fast beating heart

[Mum2SweetCs]

tried getting to teh doc
looks like they are closed!

her temp is 38.9 now

i have to wait until DH gets back from work 6:30 as i dont have a car

[Olive]

how does she seem apart from a temp?

[Junglemum]

What is her heart rate? babies have a much faster heart rate than us, so it might not be racing as much as you think.....
Also when they have a temp their hearts tend to work a little harder. Why don't you give nurse on call a ring and have a chat to them about it...

[squidipa]

can u ring hospital and ask for advice? or get hubbie to get home faster.

[Mum2SweetCs]

shes acting fine

drank all her milk as well

[Junglemum]

It is normal to have a faster heart rate with a temp, if she is fine otherwise i'd just keep an eye on her and take her to the drs tomorrow if you are concerned.

Nurse on call are really great for advice. Also the MCHN line in Vic is great too. What state are you in?

[Mum2SweetCs]

FFS!
Okay i did a google search and found liverpool hospital number

got redirected to WHO i thought was a nurse!

Okay, spent the first 20 mins giving out details, addresses

then then next 20 mins repeating what i have said
for example, caller "so she has a temperture for 3 days?"
me: " no it was 3 hrs"
caller: "oh sorry i should read my own notes" (YES U SHOULD HAVE)

Then after those stupid questions he reads from a transcript about fevers.

Then i asked, Have i rung Liverpool hospital?

He goes no I have rung some hotline (couldnt hear properly due to their phone echoing!)

WTF!

[Mum2SweetCs]

I'm totally confused
did Liverpool hospital outsourced their hotline or something? coz i double checked the number and it is right
