Hi my 3 year old has been ill on and off for a week or so. She had the stomach bug and then a little cold and cough. On Monday she was ok in the morning but by afternoon had temp and refusing to eat etc. By the night time she was ok again. On Wednesday she seemed not herself again but very loud and misbehaving. She woke today she was ill again. I have given 2 does of calpol (6hrs apart) and her temp is still just below 39. When should I take her to docs? You can tell she's ill she's pale and not eating and pretty lethargic. I'm guessing some sort of virus but what should I do if her temp doesn't go down? Surely calpol would have helped. It will take half an hour to walk to doctors so I don't want to take her unnecessarily.
