My DD is 15 months. She has a temp of 39.5 today, even after calpol. I spoke to doctor who said to alternate iduprofen and calpol. He said not to worry unless she becomes floppy, fits or seems in pain. Some babies can run a temp of 40 and be fine, others are really sick at 38. So far she is just a bit subdued. Hope your DD is ok.

She is a bit better
Saw the doc and she has a throat infection
