Daughter Ill

Hello,
Looking for some advice, first time mum and always learning
But currently my 19month old daughter has a fever, really isant her self, very sleepy but not sure if that's because she's been regularly having calpol.
I think she's teething but also has a chesty cough.
She's also jumping herself awake every 15-20 minutes not sure if they're all linked or not so any help would be appreciated.
Don't want to call for health advice and waste time if I don't need too

Statistically, most likely to be a very (will make her super miserable but will resolve within a few days. This is a good resource for recognising when something else could be the cause and need more action:

How's your DD now OP?

Calpol doesn't make kids sleepy in my experience. How often has she been having it?

Helpful things my GP told me to look for when DD was a baby/toddler:

If a high fever doesn't come down with Calpol, if they stop weeing, if they stop drinking, if they're very lethargic when awake, if they're not interacting normally at all. Any of those things would mean that it's worth seeing a doctor.
