high temp, long nap, no other symptoms... right to ignore?

dd is 2.2. Seems fine although has been SUPER whingy yesterday and this morning.

Picked her up after her really long nap (usually 1.5 hours - was alseep for over 3 hrs) and she felt really hot. Have checked temp 'properly' on the thermometer and is just over 38 (is 36 usually - as is mine) - has been for an hour now and isn't going down. She is watching telly cuddling me and isn't over-enthusiastically energetic but seems well enough.

Should I just keep an eye or am I being too lax here? I am thinking her body is just fighting something off...

What were you thinking of doing other than watchfully waiting? Give her some Calpol? I wouldn't - but then I don't unless they are in pain. Most people would, I think.

Is she having plenty to drink?
