Hey my son is 4, and has had a high temp since yesterday, today it isn’t really budging with calpol. He’s off his food and only taking small amounts of fluid.
No other symptoms.

Am I right to just keep offering fluids and plenty of rest? I don’t know what could be causing it

Are you giving alternate paracetamol and ibuprofen?

Just to update, saw GP today & he has a very severe case of tonsillitis :(
