Another panicky thread -- fever and drowsiness in 8mo

DS has been unhappy all afternoon - v drowsy and low-grade crying since 3ish, refused all food (has had bf though), then about 6pm developed a fever (around 38 degrees). Had noticably cold hands this afternoon too (though could have been from crawling round on cold floor). Crying escalated around then so gave a tepid bath and Medised and put to bed.

Then Googled 'meningitis symptoms' and have worried myself and DH. Have put call out to out-of-hours GP but have to wait half an hour for callback, can anyone reassure me? (He has no rash.)

DH has throat infection so it could be that too... I originally thought it was teething but he was nowhere near this bad last time...

glad he's perked up a bit. i'm sure he'll be back to his usual self in no time.
