Hello. Some of you may have seen my other thread, but I will start from the beguinning anyway.
Thursday...DD miserable, put it down to teething at first. Noticed she was a bit warm when I put her to bed, but not hot so just opened window and left her in her nappy. 10.30pm ish, she wakes for a feed, Boiling hot (104) so I gave calpol and she had a bottle (90% breastfed, has the odd bottle to settle her). So after the bottle is all gone, she shoots the entire feed accross the room. We brought her downstairs, did various things to bring down temp while we phoned NHS direct, who were no help at all. She screamed and scream till eventually at about 2am we took her to A+E as her temp still hadnt gone down and she was obviously in pain.
Hospital said she had a tonsillitis, and had white pussy spots on the throat etc gave her paracetamol and nerofen and sent her home. In and out within 20mins (But typically she acted fine in hospital and the cold car journey temperarily bought her temp down a bit).
Friday - still cried all day, still very hot etc so took to Docs at 6pm. Doctor said that if the hospital discharged her, she is probably fine and no need for antibiotics and also said there were no spots - which is the opposite to what hospital said.
Today - still cried most of the day. Late afternoon wasn't too bad, had a nice long bath with me and went to sleep well (hadnt slept much the last few days). Just been up to her about 20mins ago and she was boiling again. Took temp and its 105, which is the highest its ever been. But I know its generally higher when sleeping anyway, but surely not this high? Have given 4mls calpol and a breastfeed and is back in cot asleep.
Should I be worried her temperature is soo high? I am sure I read before on here that anything above 105 was dangerous?
