[Minnis84]

Hi there this is my first post...... on Tuesday my daughter who's 4yrs old had a temp of 38.5 - 39.5 thought the day and in to the evening..... she was still playing eating and drinking fine was just a little quieter the usually..... she whet to bed fine and woke up with no temp and was her self again....how ever last night she woke up at around 2am saying she don't feel good I picked her up a could feel she was hot took her temp it was 38.5 she still the temp now and has had all day.... shes still is drinking eating and playing but also has been
a bit quite but I have no idea why she has this temp or what it could be any advice would be much appreciated

Virus? Ear infection? Urine infection?

I would give calpol to bring her temperature down as she is still young and make sure she has plenty of fluids.

Have you asked if she feels unwell or has any pain? See may need to see a GP if she does.

She did say she had a headache I think that may be the temp..... she's not complained of any thing else as yet not sure how long to leave it till I should contact a doc

You can always call 111 for advice.

Yes I’d ring 111

I wouldn't give calpol to bring temp down just keep hydrated and an eye on her. Prob fighting something. Let the fever do it's job.

Im laying with her now still same temp it staying in the 38.5 -38.8 so best to let her fight it then to bring temp down you think

If you need to get her temperature down then give her ibuprofen, it's much better at doing this than calpol. I only found this out when DD was hospitalised with a raging temperature when she was 15 months old.
