    Is it possible he is getting his 2 year molars? If he is, the pain would cause his temp to spike and also to vomit. Vomiting is a very common reaction to pain.
    You know i am thinking this is what it possibly was.Because for the last couple of weeks he has been terribly whingy and out of character.Then a few days ago one of his cheecks was bright red. Then this yesterday.

    When 6pm came he was right as rain so i didnt take him.We just gave him panadol once and his temp went back to normal and he was happy again.

    So hopfully it is just the teeth. It was scary though as like i said they dont even get colds so i have no idea how to handle a proper sickness!

    You did well Antheia. Even with my back ground I sometimes freak when DD is ill. It is natural when it's your own child. Just keep an eye on him. If you think it is his teeth and the fever and any other symptoms are caused by pain, give him a dose of panadol and see how it goes. It should be enough to settle him a bit. If you're positive it is teeth and panadol isn't enough to curb the pain, you can give a dose of panadol and neruofen together (don't exceed the recommended doses though) at the same time which will give better and longer pain relief.
