Please help- temp 38.5!!!
Help Dylans been off all day, he's felt warm but his temperature has been well within normal ive checked it again its 38.5! I've just given him calpol again, hes got a slight cough and an awful nappy this am but nothing major but wont stop crying (he NEVER cries!)
Does he need to go to hospital/doctors or do I just monitor him and see if calpol brings his temp down? Im beside myself!

I believe that current guidelines on infant cooling state that you should try to cool the environment rather than stripping the child down due to their inability to self-regulate their temps. Hope he's feeling better soon, and you manage to get him into the doctors xx
Feel much better now he's been checked out and I know whats wrong.
As always you are all wonderful, thank you!!!
