Befuddled with lack of sleep - should I be concerned if after N & C temp is 38.9

[Twiglett]

I shouldn't should I?

It was 40.2 when she woke up and then high 39s after Nurofen at 8.10am .. gave her Calpol at 8.55 and her temp is now 38.9

Maybe I should just stop bloody well taking eh?

no-one cares

I have decided I have a brain and it isn't a problem

I jsut need sleeep .. sleeeeeep ....sleeeeeeeeeeep

I can do this kid thing if only I had sleeeeeeeeeeeeepp

YAWN

Sounds pretty high - I would get it checked with doctor. Hope she's better soon.

Twig - I would say that its on its way down..... and as long as it doesn't creep back up again then she should be fine.

Give her Medised.

Think Sackache is right. Suppose it also depends on her other symptoms though.

Aw, Twig - I care! Just responded on your other thread.

Why is it high? What are her other symptoms? How is she? I think it's on its way down, but watch her in case it creeps back up again.

er, twig, lots of people care, or you wouln't have had responses on your other thread.

Her temperature is on the way down, and it is less than an hour since you gave the calpol.

Relax a bit, and don't take her temp again for another hour. They wouldn't do it more often that that if she was in hospital!

sorry guys .. I was being self-deprecating with the no-one cares line but it didn't come across well in type

didn't mean to come across all moany

have stopped taking her temp now .. she'll be fine

twig dd2 is poorly as well and I don't have a thermometer

she spent most of last night being sick and waking every 20 minutes

how bad do I feel - after 4 hours of this she came in to our bedroom I said 'come on dd2, off you go, back to bed' she went back on her own with no fuss. When I went in this morning her bed was covered in sick and she was sleeping under her bed [massive guilt emoticon]

awww ... least she didn't puke on your bed enid

awww ... least she didn't puke on your bed enid

awww ... least she didn't puke on your bed enid

sorry I jammed and crashed there

at least I didnt chew her ears off

snurk ..
