HELP high temps and sleepy :(

[Rouge]

Both my kids were like this with the recent bugs they've had. DS has another temp today so looks like we're on round 2 yay. It is scary, but just try and keep the temp down with the nurofen/panadol combination if you can. Also don't be afraid to get the tepid flannel out. When DS got his tonsil infection I sat with him most of the night cooling his head down purely because we didn't have the combo on hand and it was 2 am when the fever started. I was tired the next day but it kept his temp around 38 till it broke in the morning. And he was fine, he slept through the night.

ETA: But also if you are worried DEF go see a Dr. If DS's temp didn't stay down I would have went for sure.

The girls have given you some great advice. I would take her to the dr if she worsens, can't control her temp or if she is lethargic or is you are worried. You know your DD better than anyone. I would def do the panadol/nurofen combo.

im glad too sez!! i cried on the phone, when i got there
she was lathargic, agitated, almost delerious both times she woke, shes in bed now. nurofen wasnt controlling it, if it still up during the night i;ll give her some panadol, shes had some more nurofen
sez i;ll try and give her some EBM but i doubt she'll drink it.
cai i hope S is better soon

Hope she comes good soon hun. Its so hard to know, but its usually best to go & be told things are fine then not go coz things can get worse quick.

Both times my little ones have been in hossy for dehydration it was more coz mum pushed me. Me wanting to wait & see. DD2 saw gp Monday, possible tonsillitis, chance of glandular fever. Told to take her back Wednesday. Tuesday night she was really bad, so took her to hossy. 4 or 5 days in with both glandular fever AND tonsillitis
