DD2 (11mo) has had a fever for almost 24 hours, at its highest it has been 39.1 but its generally at 38.6.
She's been understandably clingy and a bit tired all day. She's eaten almost nothing and has a very runny nose and a bit of a cough.
Anyway, as per my thread title, the question is does anybody elses DCs get blue/purple mottled skin, blue (and cold) hands and feet and nail beds when they have a high temperature?
I got her out of a tepid bath (to try and reduce fever before bed) and she looked awful.
I'm aware of the fact that these could, in some cases, be symptoms of meningitus but she doesn't seem ill enough for it to be that.
TIA

Is this common with a fever?
