Hot baby, what to do??

Sounds like an exciting steamy thread title doesn't it??
But it isn't
DD is poorly ... I took her to the docs this morning as her temp was up and she has been off her food and grizzly for a couple of days.
No infections anywhere (according to the doctor) and he says it is viral. So throughout the day she has got hotter and hotter. 39.4 at 5pm. I have given her paracetamol and she is asleep in her cot and is still burning up (39.3 ... I have one of those ear thermometers). It is 9.56pm here now.
To be honest this is the first time she has had a high temp (she is 11 months) apart from a virus at 8 weeks and we were in hospital with it and I have forgotten what to do
Should I wake her for some paracetamol at midnight (she had her last lot at 6pm)?
She is in a light short sleeved, short legged all in one vest with a grobag ... should I take her out of the grobag? It is summer here now but it isn't a heatwave or anything ... but warm.
DH says she should be out of the grobag but if she is free of that she gets caught in the cot bars ... and I am worried about her getting cold in the night.
Should I call the doctor as 39.3 seems very warm????????

Hi Britabroad, sorry you are sick too ....
I don't think DD caught it off our mutual friend as we haven't seen them since before New Year .... and DH, DS and I haven't had it at all.
Hope you all feel better soon ... hopefully see you tomorrow??
DD is finally on the mend!!! Hurray!! She had breakfast this morning (first meal in 10 days) and she is much more herself although still a bit whingey and clingy.
DH looks like he has some awful contagious skin condition as his face is peeling great sheets of skin ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha [maniacal, hysterical laughter]
