temp of 38.4 and wont take meds - advice please!!
Morning ladies, I had a feeling ds (3years) was threatening for something yesterday and he's been up everyhour through the night and has a temp of 38.4 (was 39.1 at 2am this morning!!) but after a bad experience with a steroid at the hospital in Dec he is now refusing ALL meds!!! The steroid for croup last month made him sick so he's now scared to take anything
I just don't know how to get some calpol down him!! He won't take it in squash - he's not a fool and knows it tastes funny and spits it out!!
Help I need some tips for getting it into him, other than forcing it down his throat which i'm reluctant to do with a strong willed 3 year old
He has no other symptoms at all which is quite odd, so I don't know what it could be!!
Help please, thanks Claire and a very hot Shea xx

Has he had chicken pocks? sometimes they can get a temp with no other symptoms just a guess though hope he feels better soon
I can't help really as I have exactly the same issue with Archie in that he refuses to take the meds. It was slightly easier reverting back to a syringe rather than a spoon though.
Archie also always refuses to let us take his temp so it's even more frustrating. All that money on a digital thermoniter and he refuses to have it anywhere near him.
Good luck x
He hasn't had cp yet so I am half expecting some spots to appear but I also called nursery school and told them he wouldn't be in adn she said there had been a few kids off with a raging temp one day and fine the next so we'll see!! :roll:
Hope he feels better soon and it's not another bout of croup, both of mine suffer with it so you have my sympathies!
