DS is 15 mo and has been constantly unwell since September, with everything from tonsillitis to noro, back to tonsillitis and bronchiolitis etc etc
Today his fever has steadily crept up to 39 - along with his usual (blanching) blotchy torso rash that frightens the life out of me every time- (it's also not unusual for him to break through the 40 barrier when he's unwell)- which I'm treating with calpol and ibuprofen.
He's also got a very red face/nose, is drooling, and definitely teething.
DM thinks it's "just" teeth- I think that with a temp this high, it's something else too- and as he hasn't yet had the mmr (due to... his poor health recently) I'm terrified it's measles (what if this time the rash is a real rash!)
I'm not immediately worried about him- resp rate normal for a hot child, temp responding (slowly) to drugs, and he's not behaving weirdly...
But what do you all think? Could it possibly just be his teeth? He's due his molars...
For full disclosure- I would be delighted if so, as absolutely cannot miss work (again) tomorrow but no idea what I'll do if he can't go to nursery. Take him to work, probably...
