Poor DC 7+half months has had a temperature above 38 for the entire day since waking up at 5am. It has now gone over 39.1 and stayed up for last hour. Have given three ibuprofen doses throughout the day and two paracetamol doses (last one half hour ago). Temperature still hasn't dropped. DC has had a few brief alert phases looking happy even though the temperature was still there, but mostly drowsy, sleeping, moaning sadly and crying. No other symptoms like a cold or teething and no obvious rash. Has had a few breastfeeds but refused food and water. Should I wait it out till morning and hope it breaks or take the little one into a+e tonight? Feel a bit worried, but it may just be because DC is my first......
