Ladymuck · 05/07/2005 22:21

What was her temp? How has she been for the rest of the day? Is this the only symptom?

Have you taken her temperature? Has she shown signs of being poorly? And how old is she? There is a vomiting bug about atm, horrid but not at all serious.

sorry don't want to be alarmist - but you're obviously v. concerned.

hercules · 05/07/2005 22:22

Get on the phone, Jessica.

MistressMary · 05/07/2005 22:22

Nhs direct love

Good luck.

WideWebWitch · 05/07/2005 22:23

If you're worried call nhs direct. If she's just sweating maybe she's fighting something off.

WideWebWitch · 05/07/2005 22:24

With no other symptoms I doubt there's anything serious, really, but they will be able to reassure you. Sweating alone isn't usually serious. I'm no expert and all that but hoping to help you feel calmer!

Not sure that this helps but IME NHS Direct are always over the top in their response (ie better safe than sorry). So don't feel too worried even if they say something like "go to casualty" - it is still often not a big deal. They had me call an amubulance when ds2 had croup...

Sweating it out hopefully.
Just keep on with fluids and if you are worried go with your gut instinct Jm.
