DS has been poorly since Saturday morning with a very high temp - ranging from 38 - 40.3 when I just measured it. Average I'd say is 39 even though I have given him nurofen at 9am, 1pm and 11pm. He is absolutely boiling to touch - wearing only tshirt and nappy.
Have already given Nurofen and am pushing fluids. He is just lying in bed with me eyes open but very spaced out. Had had wet nappies but no poos.
He has a slight cough and runny nose but no other symptoms.
He does not talk yet so cannot communicate with him if he has a headache etc.
Is such a high temp cause for concern does anyone know?
