1 year old baby I'm really worried

[40yearoldmerging]

Just asking for a bit of reassurance really.
Please don't make me feel worse I'm calling docs tomorrow.
Baby has been ill for a few days. Temp was 38 but now 37.4 so not too high. But skin feels hot to the touch still.
Refusing food, still breastfeeding but really lethargic and sleeping all day.

When I ring drs (assuming I can get an appointment) what realistically can they do?
I have older children and none of them have ever been this out of it unless they had diarrhea and vomiting, flu or chicken pox.
I don't know what to do but my Mommy Alarm is screaming something is wrong.
Initially I was thinking its just teething, but with my older ones they had a little temperature and cried more, never fell asleep all day or refused all food even ice cream or cold yoghurt or cold baby puree. Such a happy baby but he won't even smile.

Hope you’ve had him checked out and all is okay OP. I had to call the GP about something this morning and the doctor ran through a list of red flag symptoms for toddlers and uncharacteristic lethargy was one of them so definitely worth getting checked out

Hope he’s okay and on the mend soon

Glad he's been seen and hopefully he makes a speedy recovery, bless him.
I hope you did ring 111 last night OP?
It's there to be used. You would have been put through to a GP who would have provided advice.
I'm not trying to have a go but if this were to happen again, calling 111 is an easy thing to do and can guide your decision making.

When my 1yo was like this, it was an ear infection. I wouldn’t have known if the nurse hadn’t looked in their ears. Antibiotics really helped. Go to the doctor.

@sparepantsandtoothbrush how would you know what I did last night

Yeah had a phone call and then face to face as soon as one was available, they really squeezed us in and I was so thankful. Didn't seem too worried about him as he is still having wet nappies but reduced food intake is obviously a worry.
The heat probably isn't helping. Poor thing

Could he be dehydrated?
