Dd is 21 months. Developed a fever of 39.1 last night. Have been giving neurofen every 6 hours as every time it wears off fever shoots back up again. She was off her food the past two days also.

We haven’t been out for over 2 weeks.. surely it can’t be corona? Me and her dad also do not have any symptoms.

This morning when she woke up she was choking really badly whilst trying to breastfeed, I had to flip her onto her stomach so she could catch a breath. No other coughing.

Not sure if it ok to call 111 just for a fever? Especially as children are supposed to barely be effected?! Really don’t want to take up any of the operators time.
