Hi.
My 5 year old is poorly. As any parent I've been on NHS website, webMD etc....
Everything I read is conflicted!
For example, if your child has a temperature of 38.5+ seek medical help immediately. Yet you call the Dr and they say "give them calpol"
My son is on day 4 of a sickness bug, he is incredibly weak, he is dehydrated, he is irritable, he has an intermittent high temp (39+) The drs say " give him fluids, give him calpol"
I appreciate they don't want him in if necessary because of being contagious, but I just want to know what point I need medical help for him!
