When to worry with a baby temperature?? it was 38.3 when I checked about half hour ago and is now measuring between 38.8 and 39.1.
She's 11 and half months old, seems more tired today more than usual and hot to touch. But no different to normal regarding mood, nappies, food/drink etc..
Thanks everyone.

I’d get her seen straight away either by your gp 111 or 999. When did she have calpol?

We've been out most the afternoon so she hasn't had any, do you think it'll help? Didn't know it could be used for just temps x

Yes. Give her calpol if it doesn’t start bringing it down then contact medical help

@rachaellw, thanks, I've just given her some now so hopefully it'll help. I'm glad she likes it now as she used to hate it x

How long would you give it? x

Give it 20 mins half hour if it hasn’t come down get her seen she may have a virus or something but I’d get her seen tomorrow if it carry’s I’m getting hi

Will do thanks for the advice, at minute she's trying to get in calpol bottle seems as she's realised it's nice 😂 but I'm hoping it helps, she's about to have dinner too so hopefully that doesn't make her hot too x

@rachaellw, I've just thought we've had hand,foot and mouth going round here lately. She may have caught that? I've had two play dates with friends. One of which has had it a couple of weeks ago, the other one her children go to nursery/school xx

It went up to 39.8 but I gave her calpol, she had a quick nap and then had her dinner and dessert. It's now at 37.7 when I checked about 5 mins ago so much much better ☺️
I'm hoping it's a quick bug. As we've had hand foot and mouth going round nurseries and schools round here lately. And I've heard that's contagious she's got her first birthday in 9 days and christening/bday party in 11 days 😭 @georgina-ox,
