My 23 month old ds has had quite a high temp for the last 36 hours. He has been quite clingy, not eating, a bit more sleepy than normal and his cheeks have been very flushed. Last night his temp was 39.1, even with Nurofen, so I took him to the emergency docs. They managed to bring his temp down and checked him all over. They advised it is either a viral infection or teething (He still has his 4 back molars to come in.)
He woke up at 7am and had a drink and a jaffa cake and seemed a bit brighter. He is back asleep now but I'm not surprised as he was up until midnight.
Could it be teething that is causing his temp? He never had much bother getting the rest of his teeth in. Or is it more likely to be an infection, in which case my 11 month old dd will probably get it too.
Oh happy days It's just one thing after another at the moment.
