Yesterday afternoon DS had a temp of 39.1 and tiny spots covering the whole of his body. From his forehead down to the tops of his feet. We was quite lethargic, gave him some panadol and rushed him to the Dr. They said it was just a virus and didn't think it was measles as there was no cough or runny nose. He was still happy and playing when he felt like it. I bought him some nurofen, came home had some dinner and off to bed he went. Woke up this morning with only a slight temp, still has the spots but is still happy and eating and drinking.
DD has molars coming through and had a temp yesterday of 38 and I thought it was related to that. I gave her some nurofen for her teeth and temp and she slept all night. Woke up at 6.15ish as normal for a bottle but she was screaming her lungs out, didn't want her bottle at all. She snuggled in bed with me for a while and continued to cry, she would settle for short periods. She didn't want DS touching her AT ALL and he was only trying to rub her, which she usually loves. Her temp would have been close to 40 this morning but the nurofen has bought it down. She is VERY irritable, won't eat or drink (and she LOVES food), she has happy periods followed by being completely miserable. I am not sure what to do?! Do we sit tight and wait it out or do you think she needs to be seen by a Dr?! She is having a rest in her cot now, which she needs. She is SO exhausted.
