Ok, so this is my first illness/fever since she's weaned and I'm kind of at a loss.

She woke up at about midnight last night crying, which is unusual, so I went and got her a brought her in to bed with us. She felt warm, but I put it down to being a really warm night.

She woke up at 5:30am really hot, and when I took her temp it was 38.4. I let it go, just watching as she didn't seem effected and I wanted the fever to do it's job. About 20 minutes later she felt hotter (but was the same temp when we checked) but we gave her paracetamol as she wasn't her usual self and seemed to be suffering (it was already about 27 degrees at 6am as well!).

The panadol brought the temp down to 37.9, but it spiked again to 38.4 at 10:20am and then 38.9 at 10:30am, so we gave her some ibuprofen (even though I hate using that stuff).

That brought it down to 37.3-37.4 by midday and it stayed that way for about an hour, but it's gone back up again to 38.1 by 1:30pm, and its now 2:30pm and it's 39.2 and rising...

She had a slight drippy nose this morning but it was gone by mid-morning. Now it's back and she seems to be blocked and she is now mouth breathing.

She hasn't eaten or drunk all day except three chicken nuggets and a little chocolate milkshake when all else failed LOL! Plus this morning she had one of those Hydrolax iceblock things, and I might try another soon. We've been encouraging water and she's drinking sips but hasn't had much at all I am at a loss because usually I have been breastfeeding, so at least I have known she is getting something and I am doing something, but now she has weaned and is fighting this on her own I just feel totally helpless for her

What do I do?

Do I give her more paracetamol? Do I take her to the dr? The hospital? Would the dr just say to take her to the hospital? What would they do at the hospital? I don't know if we are doing all that they can do or if they can do more for her? Will they just tell me to give her more paracetamol and come back when she's had a fever for 24 hours?

What is the temperature that you would take your kids to the hospital??
