how high is high temp to really worry about?

[eleanorsmum]

DD has rapidly come down with what i thought was a cold but she has runny (not green or streaming) nose, red face, sore throat and neck and temp of 38.8C had paracetomol and now neurofen too. checked nhs website not really much help. she says she cold but feels really hot. drinking lots and nibbling some toast. she's three BTW.

just worried as neurofen thermometre packet says above 38C seek urgent medical attention!

just to update anyone, took dd to docs this morn after very long weekend! and she said virus (as suspected!) identified by a clear runny nose. she then said to give her calpol in the morning followed three hours later by neurofen adn then three hours later with calpol etc as long as she had no more than four doses of calpol and three of neurofen. interesting hey!?
