Hi!
Yesterday evening I put my 11 month old to bed after a perfectly normal day and noticed his sleeping pulse rate on the Owlet was higher than usual. A quick Google told me this could be indicate of a fever. I went in to feel him and he did feel warm but not hot so I left him to sleep until morning. He was also making some loud snoring/strider like sounds.
I took his temp in the morning today and it was 38.8. He’s eaten less than usual today and hasn’t finished a couple of his bottles but had plenty of wet nappies. His mood has been up and down. He’s been full of energy all day, but parts of the day he’s been giggly and playing and the other parts whining and crying a lot. I’ve given him 3 doses of calpol and the fever hasn’t reduced at all, it’s still in the 38s.
He doesn’t have other symptoms of illness like a cough or runny/blocked nose.
I’m seeing mixed advice online and worried I’ve made the wrong decision by not ringing 111 or doing anything else yet.
I’ve just put him to bed. Do I leave him? Call 111? Or what would you do?
