Hi.
so my 6 month old had a viral rash last week, query it was hand foot mouth. He was checked over by OOH GP who thought it to be viral. He had 4 blisters on a toe, a couple on each finger and his mouth appeared sore for a day (refused a dummy and milk). He had a light pink like heat rash all over, he got better as quick as it started.
Now, a week later my 4 year old has come down with a high fever.
It started yesterday after preschool he had a nap and woke up looking hot. So I let him wake up and took his temp and it was 38.
Since then it’s crept up to 39.5 (at the highest).
i have given calpol and neurofen for kids twice and it comes down, but goes back up.
Apart from being a little tired, he’s fine in himself, off his food a little bit but drinking fine and passing urine. He has no other signs of illness.
he’s had the fever for 20 hours now with no other symptoms really.
is this weird?
i have health anxiety…. and always thinking the worst so now I can’t even think reasonable…..
