My daughter (2 yrs) has a temperature - no other symptoms except falling asleep on the sofa. She is now in bed. I suspect she is teething - she has 13 teeth still to come and none have come through for the last 10 months.
Her temp has gone up to 38.9 - should you always give calpol? Or let her fight it for a bit?
The temp only came on this afternoon at about 4pm. I'm checking her every 20 mins - I don't want to over medicate her if possible. Does this make sense?
