DD3 is 1 year old. She has had a temperature close to 40C since Sat. It does come down if I do paracetamol and ibuprofen but not one or the other. Today she is refusing medicine entirely, so can't get the temp down.
She spent all day Sunday and all day today asleep on me. She was slightly better yesterday and played a bit in between times but not great.
She has been taking her morning and night milk and has little bits of food and water in the day. I don't think she is dehyrdated, but hasn't pooed since yesterday morning which is very unusual for her (though not terribly surprising given how little she has eaten).
No sunken soft spot. And although very very lethargic she is not floppy (she can sit up, she just doesn't want to).
She is normally a very busy little baby, so to see her constantly asleep or staring into space is a bit disconcerting.
I am on a call list for the GP and will likely hear back in the next hour. I am not going to A&E.
There are no other symptoms to suggest its mengingitis, septicemia or kawaskai.
She also had her 12month jabs a week ago. I'd been putting it down to that. I started feeling a bit poorly (body aches/snuffle) last night so now I wonder if its that/combination.
Am I missing something? What else should I be looking for? What else could it be? (Please don't be worried about scaring me... I'd rather have information and am not an anxious person).
