My 6 yo DD had a headache at school yesterday afternoon but she's been fine when she came home, just a little under the weather. I gave her Calpol and lots of water, however just at bedtime she developed fever, 38.5°-39°. She's been miserable through the night and I gave her Ibuprofen and Calpol alternatively.
She is at home today with fever that's not very high, however she keeps saying her joints and neck hurt and still has a headache. I read these can be symptoms of viral meningitis. Anyone has any advice?
The GP has no appointments for this morning, but I can call at 1:30 again as they may have cancellations. I can also take her to a walk in centre. It's just that in my previous experience, if the symptoms only started a day before they just send us home with 'just rest, lots of water and Calpol'.
Anyone has any advice? I'm worried about her headache but she's not vomited yet, had eaten a little and is drinking water.
