Dd 26 months has an ear infection and sore throat. She’s very prone to spiking 40 degree temps. She started with her current lurgy Tuesday night. Sat up with her most of the night and gave her paracetamol and ibuprofen. Paracetamol doesn’t bring it down. Ibuprofen does but takes a good 60- 90 mins to work. I took her to the walk in centre yesterday and they gave an antibiotic for her ear. Then last night sbout 4 am she woke and was so hot and sure enough temp was 40. Gave her ibuprofen and it came down. Then she was pointing to her mouth and saying ‘mouth ow’ so had a look and I thought I could see swelling. Took her down to a&e and they checked her over and sent us on our way. When we were seen she’d had ibuprofen a couple of hours before so her temp was down to 37. Literally as I left the building she went very pale and shivery and promptly vomited so I took her back in. Dr was probably a bit annoyed but acknowledged her temp was 39.8 and mentioned something about febrile convulsions and bring her back in if she got worse. Temp keeps going back to 40 when the ibuprofen wears off. Trouble is I’ve now given her 3 doses of ibuprofen since 4 am. So I can’t give her any more. What am I going to do in the night when this last lot wears off ( last gave at 5pm)? I can give her another dose of paracetamol but as I say it doesn’t seem to work. Obviously will do all the stripping off, fluids and will probably sleep on the floor next to her cot. Anyone else with a Dc that doesn’t seem to respond to paracetamol for temps?
