3.5yr temp of 39.6?!

I feel like an awful mummy because I don’t know what to do.

Oldest dd11 had the flu last weekend, has got over it and now just an annoying cough.

Dd3 has caught it and for the past few days been abit unwell. Yesterday she fell asleep at 9am after waking at 5 (normal wake up time), then again at 1.30 and asked to go bed at 5.30. She then slept from 5.30 until 8.30!!

Iv just taken her temp and it’s 39.5, she’s so poorly bless her. She says she doesn’t want anyone though so won’t let me cuddle her etc!

She’s had some calpol and is still in bed on her iPad with juice (she’s never normally allowed juice)

Dd11 shares rooms so is sat in bed keeping an eye on her.

What do I do? I feel crappy! Dh is working 12 today 😩 she’s a daddy’s girl so could do with his help!

Poor thing, my brother used to always get nosebleeds as a child when he was hot. Definitely call 111 to be on the safe side.

If you’re waiting for a 111 call back use the time to pack a bag with essentials in case you have to take her to be seen.

Clicked on this as my 3.5 year old has been same. He also then had nose bleed at lunchtime! Think it was from coughing. 111 got us OOH Dr appt and he now has antibiotics for chest infection as apparently had reduced sounds on one side. Fingers crossed they kick in - he's been so quiet!

Her temp is 38.6 atm, it wasn’t bleeding when she walked into our room, she didn’t make a noise when it was happening just wiped all over herself, if anything she seemed abit better! She’s currently asleep next to Dh in our bed with the fan on. Im waiting for a doctor to call back.

She’s had a really runny nose today, and coughing lots 😭

@Foxton20 great you're getting medical advice, don't panic re nosebleed, both mine get massive ones when they've been coughing a lot

How is she this morning @Foxton20 ?

Foxton20 · 25/11/2019 07:40

Hi! Doctor rang back and said he thinks the bleed is from her nose being irritated from sneezing etc. He said as her temp has came down that she will be ok to wait until this morning for a doctors temp but thinks it might be viral as my daughter has got over it within a few days. She slept in our bed with Dh and I slept on her mattress on the floor. My god I ache 😂😩
