Ds was off school with a headache on Monday, no temperature. Felt well enough to go to school yesterday. But last night before bed temp was 37.7, this morning on waking it is 37 but expect it to increase when he gets moving.

Dilemma is, ds is supposed to be going to a theme park with school today. Not expected home until 7.30pm. He's 15 years old so I can trust him to take paracetamol and ibuprofen responsibly. He's desperate to go - would you let him with a low fever?

Aibu - keep him in bed
Ainbu - let him go!

Absolutely if he's will in himself. Probably just got a mild virus.

If he's been off school and still has a fever then no I wouldn't.

He was at school yesterday ... Je hasn't got a fever ...

He isn't even ill .. he went to school yesterday, he can go.

I wouldn’t count anything below 38 as a fever personally. If he’s 37 this morning that’s normal!

Yes, if he’s generally well in himself. Although if he’s well im not sure I’d be checking his temp.
