DD has had a temperature since last night, we have been giving her calpol and ibuprofen, but she is burning up and there is a smell from her nappy, she is also drinking loads of water, could this be a water infection does anyone know?

Hi,

Would see your GP asap and ensure they take a urine sample at the same time for analysis. UTI's if this is what it is can be treated with antibiotics but they can be nasty things to endure.
