I'm a single parent with not much support so I wanted to check what other people would do.
My son is 9 and has had a high temperature all day. I've been alternating calpol and ibuprofen since he woke up despite this his temp was 39.7 when I took it a minute ago. He's been lying on the sofa since this morning and is complaining of a headache, especially behind his eyes. He's not eaten and only had a few sips of drink.
He has no other symptoms. Do I continue giving painkillers to see if his temperature comes down? Ring 111? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
