DD is 3 years old. We've all been unwell this week with, what I think is flu. DD has had a fever since Monday, but it does come down with ibuprofen (she always responds better to ibuprofen than paracetamol). Yesterday lunchtime she fell asleep for an hour or so, woke up with a fever of 40.8, had some ibuprofen and went back to sleep for a couple of hours. Her temp took a while to come down but then she woke up, had some toast and was chatty for a little while. Then she curled up on the sofa around 5pm and fell asleep. Around 6pm her temp was up again, so I gave her some more medication and then she asked for some milk and to go to bed. She slept until 3am. Then came in to my bed and she's been sleeping on and off since then. She's woken up to drink some water every now and then and she's had some more ibuprofen when her temp went up to 38.9.
Her breathing is clear. Actually better than it has been the past few days where she'd been coughing a lot. Her temp is now 38.7. I have a sat monitor and her sats and heart rate are both ok. She is sleeping loads, but she's not difficult to wake up. She just rolls over and goes back to sleep. She wears a pull up at night and that was wet. She's been drinking but it's nearly 24 hours since she ate something.
I'm swinging between thinking she needs to be seen because she's sleeping pretty much constantly, to thinking that I know her sats and HR are fine, her temp is responding to medication, she's drinking and she just needs to be left to sleep so give her body a chance to recover.
What would do you?
