DS has a high fever not sure what to do

[CrazyHmissesHerbie]

DS5 rarely gets I'll but when he does he goes down hill very rapidly as he has a history of Bronchitis & Pneumonia .
He was burning up this morning but was still ok in himself so I gave him Calpol and he went to school (he wouldn't stay home) .
Just got home from school and he is burning up 38°C but he is shivering ferociously .
He has had Calpol & some fluids .

Is his temperature ok or is it too high ?
Do I need to take him to out of hours ?

Raised temperature actually means that he is ill, even if he has no other symptoms and the temperature comes down with calpol. He most likely had some sort of virus. So you should have kept your ill child at home and away from others.

School rules state that a child should not be in school until the temperature has remained down for 24 hours.

Very selfish.

what school rules? Have never seen or heard of that one. Nurseries give them calpol if they have a temp and then send them home if it doesn't go down.
