Dd just had two days of 39.6 degree temps. She was lethargic but otherwise ok. A fever in itself isn't a worry because it is the body's way of fighting illness. Febrile convulsions are what most people worry about, so a dose of panadol to bring his temp down would be ok.

I hope he feels better soon. And congrats on the bub!

I personally don't worry about 38 degrees, so long as they are not hard to wake. If they look miserable or reach 39-40 I give them panadol to bring the temp down.

I would try to bring the temp down by giving panadol too.

39 degrees and I'd be off to a Dr or Emergency Dept if you couldn't get it down but I would still try even a combination of Panadol followed by Neurofen before I did that.

Its horrid when they get sick like this.
