My 9 1/2 month old DS has a cold (runny nose) and a fever of 38-40 deg. C. I'm sort of toying with a trip to A&E if it goes up again. It's down to 37.6 now. But, what are they going to do when I get there? Give him paracetemol? Put him in a luke warn bath? Nothing? Send me home? So, I'm sort of inclined to think he's better off at home where at least he'll get some sleep.
Has anyone been to A&E with a baby with a high fever? If so, what did they do when you got there?
