10 month old high temperature

[SMLSML]

Is it just me who has an under 1 year old who is constantly unwell? 😢 My little one is now 10 months and we've already had two hospital visits, once at 3 months and again at 6 months for continual high temperatures lasting over a week and respiratory issues 🫠 we'll literally have a couple of weeks of her being well before she picks something else up at nursery. Her feeling so hot and lethargic is awful. The hospital aren't too helpful, as she's normally not taking less than 50% of her bottles they just say there's nothing they can do but it's so hard when she's so hot all the time, I worry all the time about febrile seizures as the temp doesn't always come down with calpol 😩is anyone in the same boat or have any advice? I'll take her to urgent care and they just say there's nothing they can do and send us home 🙃🫠

You know you can give your baby calpol as well as calprofen, this should bring the temperature down. Check with a nurse or doctor and be sure about the dosage.

If you want to think about it in coldly statistical terms: 2-5% of children experience a febrile seizure (which are scary, but ultimately benign anyway) in childhood; but 100% will experience illnesses with high temperatures. So 95-98% chance your child does not have this propensity anyway. If they do, there isn't anything you can actually do to prevent them as far as anyone knows.
