Hi.
so for background info - my 6 month old had a viral rash last week, query it was hand foot mouth. He was checked over by OOH GP who thought it to be viral and possibly HFM. He had 4 blisters on a toe, a couple on each finger and his mouth appeared sore for a day (refused a dummy and milk). He had a light pink like heat rash all over, he got better as quick as it started.
Now, a week later my 4 year old has come down with a high fever.
It started Wednesday after preschool he had a nap and woke up looking hot. So I let him wake up and took his temp and it was 38.
Since then it’s crept up to 39.5
i have given calpol and neurofen for kids twice and it comes down, but goes back up.
Apart from being a little tired, he’s fine in himself, off his food a little bit but drinking fine and passing urine. He has no other signs of illness.
he’s had the fever for 36 hours now with no other symptoms really.
is this weird?
i have health anxiety…. and always thinking the worst so now I can’t even think reasonable…..
We saw a GP yesterday who checked him over, urine dipped and couldn’t find a cause for fever.
It’s hanging around 39.8/9 but with
neurofen it comes back down to 36.8 ish.
