Hello, just wondering if anyone had experienced this with their toddler?
My son is 14 months old. For the last two or three months he keeps on getting high temperatures. He is at nursery 3 days a week and they keep ringing us saying his temperature has gone up again (usually in the afternoon) and asking us for permission to give him Calpol. We call the docs, they ask us to bring him in, they check him over and say he seems fine but maybe his ear or throat is a little bit pink, they um and ah about antibiotics and eventually decide to prescribe antimoxilin, and send us away and say if the temp doesn't improve in the next day or two to give him antibiotics. So thats what we do. Then he gets better... then a week or two after the course of antibiotics ends we have the exact same thing happen! We've had this three times now over the past 2 or 3 months. When he has a fever his temperature ranges from 38.4 to 40 degrees. Sometimes he is grizzly and coldy with it; other times (like today) he is in high spirits and your never know he had a temperature without feeling how hot he is!
I'm posting now because yet again, today, my son has a temperature, albeit only 38.6 which isn't as high as he sometimes gets. He only got over another fever a week and a half ago. We've given him Calpol. He seems happy enough; it's just that I noticed he felt really hot to the touch so used a thermometer.
Should I be worried about the recurrent high temperatures? Docs don't seem massively concerned but it's making me a little uneasy. Why does he keep getting temperatures? Can it really just be bug after bug he's getting from nursery? Is this normal??
Thanks in advance!
