Need advice fast

[Annabanana1812]

7 month old is teething so I know they can get cranky etc but has temp of 37.8 which came down to 37.6 after a few sips of water, mucus in stools, very sleepy, cranky, cold hands, flushed cheeks, feels clammy runny nose I am going to check temp in another 10 mins if still up five and generally not themselves. Is this normal or should I take to GP/out of hours.

Meant to say not themselfs and if temp was still up I would give paracetamol

How long had your child been like this? if it's less than a day, I'd certainly leave it to see if a good night's sleep helps. My experience (DD gets v sick without any temperature, DS can be 40.5 with a mild cold) is that unless temp is over 38.5 and generally well in themselves, and not mote rattan 2/3 days, treating at home is usually best.

*not more than 2/3 days

Was strange at bed time last night 7pm then notice temp and everything else at 10am today. Thing il ring doctor as a few weeks Back lo was very sleepy/cranky and admitted with meningitis b

Witg recent meningitis, I'd be on to the doctor immediately!!

Due to very recent serious illness, I would go to your GP, A walk in centre or minor injuries this afternoon, absolutely OP,
