I'm waiting for a callback from 111 but I feel like I already know how this is going to go. DD (20 months) has had a cough since February. Numerous negative covid tests but a six day stay in hospital in July for upper and lower respiratory tract infections. She was coughing a little worse than usual this evening (however nursery didn't say anything so must have been okay earlier) and her temp was 38.5 so I gave her calpol, put her to bed at 7pm as usual, checked temp an hour later and it was 39.2, checked again twenty minutes ago (at 9.45pm) and it's 40.1. Called 111 and now waiting for someone to phone me.
We're going to have to take her to hospital, aren't we? The calpol should have taken her temp down but it's not, she's getting hotter. I'm dreading this. I'm so emotionally exhausted from my poor little toddler being unwell for so long. As for work tomorrow . . . I started a new job recently and I'm going to need to ask for time off already
