Do you have Calpol? If so I would play safe and give him that instead

If not, I would leave it for now.

no - out of Calpol, but he's crying again

It's the bit under 3 months to 3 years - fever

or you could perhaps give half the dose.

well (touchwood) he seems to have settled now....he's had a little more milk and another cry but it's been quiet for a few minutes now....

I'll leave him another 10 minutes and then may try and sneak up to bed myself.....
