My DS (14mo) has had a temp on and off since Saturday, highest being 39.9. It responds well to calpol/nurofen and other than a slight cough which is very sporadic is completely well in himself. He’s eating, drinking, sleeping as usual. He’s playing, even with the temperature, not clingy just has the temp. I saw gp yesterday who just dismissed me really as he was so well, babbling and chatting away but should I be getting him seen again?
Feel like I’m almost made out to be making it up and that I’m being a neurotic parent!

If it’s viral then there’s not much you can do other than ride it out.

Just continue what you're doing. Not much else you can do, or need to do.
