callum has been off colour for a while now, but since the early hours of the morning he has had a temp of 39.4. I have been dosing him up with calpol.
Came back from school run and Dh said he was really hot but had freezing feet, alarm bells rang, and I looked on the nhsdirect site and it said if your baby has freezing hands or feet but with a fever to dial 999. I checked his temp again and it was 39.7. Phone for an ambulance straight away. Got to hospital where we were taken straight in and they checked for a rash. They kept an eye on his temp, and it dropped to 37.8 but then went back to 38.2 so was given Nuropen (sp?) which took it back to 37.4.
We have been sent home now and they think he has Gastroenteritis, but he hasn't been sick at all, he has had loose stools for the past 2 days but they are fine now....
i was very scared.....
