Ok my 10 month old is an epic sleeper he sleeps 7pm 7:30am every night without fail,last night he was very unsettled then woke screaming and sobbing at 1am he was burning up. Checked his temp it was 38.4 gave him Calpol and some milk,he was awake until almost 3am then fell asleep in our bed finally between us until morning when he again awoke crying and burning up.Gave another dose of Calpol and his breakfast,he threw up part of it so kept down maybe 4oz out of his usual 8oz of milk and Weetabix.He had a nap and woke looking and acting back to normal but since then he's been up and down all day,seems like his temp comes down with Calpol but goes up again as it wears off (got up to 39c this evening before his supper and Calpol) I rang 101 who said he needs to be seen within 12 hours so I'm waiting for a GP to call me back but have been waiting since 6.20pm he's since gone to bed as usual as he was exhausted and falling asleep drinking his supper bottle (only took 4oz out of the 8oz)
Just took his temp again and it's down to 38c again (cos of the Calpol) should I take him to urgent care centre?? My SIL reckons I should as 38c is high considering he's medicated currently still. He's asleep but fussy and unsettled but I'd feel cruel taking him from his bed where he's getting some much needed sleep to sit in a waiting area for hours?!
