Ds1 has had a temp of over 38 degrees for a week now, I took him to docs last weds who gave antibiotics to prevent an ear infection over this weekend. His temp has continued to be high and last night got to 41.8, the out of hours doctor came to our home and said it looks like a viral infection so to keep him on calpol and nurofen alternate 3 hourly, keep his fluids up and avoid cold weather, so I gather that means to keep him indorrs, but for how long? He has a trip with the nursery on wednesday that I am going to cance, but we were also supposed to be visiting my SIL this weekend, should I cancel that too? She lives in a seaside town, so can get quite chilly
