It is horrible when they are like this.
Would pay to get her checked out for peace of mind.
Hope your DD is better soon

If it is worrying you enough, then yes, go.
I'm not a medical professional though so I can't really offer more advice than that sorry!!!
Hope everything is ok... xx
Just take her. Better safe than sorry.
38 is still not "scary" in so much as its not red alert levels, but the fact that it is not responding to panadol would have once had me right at the hospy. The nepean uses iboprufen to see if it responds to that before anything else, so if there is no contraindication to using iboprufen, then its worth a shot to see if it can arrest the fever.
well i took her up and she has a middle ear infection.
after sittin for 5hrs in the waiting room. she was hysterical by the time we got to see the doc.
