Hot, vomiting toddler - would you force ibuprofen in?

[FimbleHobbs]

My 2 year old was coughing a lot around bedtime, then woke coughing and vomited around 10pm. She hasn't been sick since and is now asleep in bed with me and the laptop while I catch up on work.
She feels hot, which is not unusual as she is always a hot-body, but prob a bit hotter than usual (no point taking her temp as she is asleep it would be inaccurate wouldn't it?) Was naked but started shivering (even though hot to touch) so is now in a PJ top.
Anyway I am knackered and need to go to sleep, but before I do, would you wake her up to make her have some ibuprofen? She roused a little 30 mins or so ago but didn't want any medicine and I thought forcing it down might make her sick again anyway...
Sorry, am tired, rambling and ridiculously indecisive, random internet strangers please tell me what to do!

Ok, the temperature can cause the vomit so lying beside you might not help.

I would tend to want to get something in to her to help with the temp. If you can, let her cool slightly (take covers off and don't snuggle her in) so that there is less chance of her bringing the med back up. Give it a tiny bit at a time and to the side of the mouth if you are using the syringe.

If she's really in a deep sleep or very drowsy then leave her, but she may just wake shortly. Taking her temp will be unaffected whether she's asleep or not and will give you a better idea of what you are dealing with.

The temp will make her feel cold and shivery even though she can be hot to the touch. Its important not to snuggle her up too much with clothes and blankets as it will just give you a bigger problem. I try to snuggle mine in with a duvet/blanket but keep the smallest amount of clothes on.

I have two temperature/vomit kids right now and so empathise.

I wouldn't wake her specifically to give her meds but next time she does, I would try and get some down her.

Lucky for me, my DS loves calprofen - he always wants seconds and gets quite stroppy that he can't have more!

If you have an ear thermometer, taking her temp while she's asleep might be easier than when she's awake.

Thanks both - am syringing little by little
She is waking enough to say 'I don't like iiiiiiit'
She has no covers on and I'm not snuggling her - fortunately DH working nights so lots of bedspace [weak smile]
Its so good to have somewhere to turn in the middle of the night - thank you.
And frumpygrumpy, hope both of yours are better soon.

Well even if you get the minimum in thats something. Then get her into bed and GET YOUR LIGHT OUT!!!! Me too.

And thanks ThumbLoveWitch, sorry, crossed posts.

Ear temp is 38.8, so have woken her for medicine. She LOVES medicine if she is well (ie wants her brother's) but when shes poorly she doesn't want to know - typical!

Hope she is feeling better this morning.

Nurofen on an empty stomach can cause vomiting too. So I usually start with Calpol first then move to Nurofen four hours later. That's to try and stop the Nurofen coming back up again.
