AIBU? 4 day Fever and I’m panicking

Also- doing what you are doing, you're more likely to inflict health anxiety on your daughter.
GP doesn't need consulting on day 1 of a fever. If you can feel her temp is high, you don't need to check with a thermometer - dose up as needed. If she's not in pain and is dancing, she probably doesn't even need that.
You do need to temper it in yourself, because she is watching this, and picking it up, and you may be making her feel more anxious. Do you want her to suffer like you in years to come?

I don't think anyone on this thread has said they think you should be concerned.
The GP has told you that he is not concerned.
Apart from the temp disappearing, which noone can control, is there anything else that would help your anxiety here? As you just seem to be getting yourself more upset by being here.

For what it's worth, I think the temp will go when it goes, but your daughter is clearly improving day by day, she's not lethargic, she's eating, drinking and weeing, she hasn't got anything drastically wrong with her, so you need to think about something else to chill out a bit.

You took her to the GP on day 1 of a fever?
Whatever helo you're getting for your HA, get more please.
You'll do yourself nor your children no favours.
Temperature is the body's way of fighting an infection.
Shes eating drinking dancing singing. And you want to take her BACK to the Dr?

More concerned than you are already?

.

When did the fever start? When did you see the GP?

Keep dosing the calpol every 4 or 6 hours whatever the instructions say.

Is she drinking and eating?

I had a temperature for 10 days with flu and with tonsillitis mine is often 7 days
some people are just prone to running a high temp for longer. She’s improving, her temp will come down

And her immune system will deal with the virus and this will happen. She is already eating again so she is improving.

I understand your anxiety (my daughter was on life support for 118 days after a traumatic birth. She weighed 510g), however, I do not take ky daughters temperature. A temperature is a good sign. It means the body is fighting infection. Regular paracetamol/nurofen if needed to keep her comfortable but you look at the child to take your lead from her. If she's eating and playing she is much better than she was and her body is nearing the end of fighting the infection off. Please don't stress.. you'll stress your daughter and im sure you don't want that. Try and look for the signs she is improving, which it sounds like she is.

What do you actually want a doctor to do? She’s been seen and given a fairly obvious diagnosis. You’re not seriously proposing putting your child through blood tests to check for leukaemia are you?! She’s got antibiotics already. She’s improving. She’s dancing round your living room and demanding McDonalds. So what concrete useful thing are you expecting the doctor to do other than temporarily placate your anxiety?

I’m sorry about what happened with your son. But you are going to give your daughter serious health anxiety if every time she gets an absolutely typical winter virus that takes an absolutely typical length of time to recover from you’re contacting the GP three times in under a week.

We’ve just come out of this - fever for maybe six days in the end? But getting lower the last few days which sounds like what you’re describing. So started at nearly 40, then by the last day was rising towards 38.5/8 without calpol. Also coughing fits to the point of vomiting, off food, and diarrhoea, and also I’m pretty sure a virus. Much better today which is day 8 I think, still coughing lots but appetite mostly returned. Sickest she’s been in years (she’s seven) and GP prescribed steroids in the end but I really do think there are just a lot of nasty viruses atm.

a lot of my friends children have similar right now, I really wouldn’t worry it’s anything more serious, fingers crossed she’s fully recovered by Christmas Day.

NHS website say also says it can take longer.

OP, realistically. What do you want to see happen?

I don't think 5 days is unusual, my nearly 4 year old had a cold last month. Woke on Monday morning with a high temperature of 39.5 and was wiped out all week, he didn't turn a corner until the following weekend. He barely ate, just ice pops and some toast but so long as he was having fluids and his temperature came down with nurofen/calpol I wasn't too worried. He just wanted to watch cartoons all day.

I ended up getting the same bug myself and I was ill for at least two weeks!

You need to put that thermometer in the bin.

She's eating and drinking and demanding McDonald's!

Stop

Temperature

My daughter is like this when she has tonsillitis. It’s the only time she has a raging temperature that lasts 4-5 days. Even once she’s issued antibiotics (if it’s bacterial and she has white spots on her throat) it takes around 3 days for them to kick in and the temperature to start reducing.

You clearly can't cope with coughs and colds.

Put the bloody thermometer down.

You're making yourself ill and you'll make your children ill.

You need help.

You've already consulted the doctor @CaffeineChaosandCuddles

Everyone on this thread has told you that your daughter's condition is normal, and also to stop taking her temperature.

Your daughter hasn't got cancer or leukaemia. She has a viral illness and she's already eating better.
