my 5 year old DD woke up with a raised temp this morning and cold symptoms..we dosed her up with calpol..but this evening her temp is rapidly going up despite the calpol and she looks dreadful..she is pale and red eyed and says her throat hurts and her nose sounds blocked..she also feels sick..shes obviously got a virus..but in the last 5 mins her temp has gone from 38.9 to 39.5 and Im started to feel v ery worried..weve stripped her down and sponged her with tepid water to no avail..despite her being my 4th child..Im in a bit of a flap..DH says Im being paranoid
