Hi everyone,
Maheen started having temperature yesterday morning, at 38.3 celsius. I gave her clapol and monitored it all day. she was "ok", more excited than usual, and temperature would not go down, even with Calpol, and/or Nurofen, but it wasn't going up either!
In the evening though, it started increasing, and we got slightly concerned as she vomited her soup, and then, refused to eat more and only drank 100ml of milk, instead of 220ml!
Just before I was going to go to sleep, I checked on her, and she actually was woken up inher bed, and boiling!!!!!!!!!!!! 39.7!!!!
We decided to take her to Emergencies, and after 2 hours over there, and a check up with only showed her heartbeat was a bit too fast, but nothing else (well, she is coughing as well, but has been for 1 year or so, and no one ever cared to get worried apart from hubby and I!), they told us we could take her back home. They gave her calpol as well, and temperature kind of went down a bit, but not that much. They were not quite sure why Maheen has got temperature, but they said to just keep an eye on her!
We gave her Calpol night again as we got back home, and she slept well till 7:30 this morning. She still had 38.6 temp, but drank her 240ml of milk. Took more calpol and back to bed straight away as we had come back from hospital at 2am!!!
She then woke up at 110, and temperature was still 39!!! o gave her nurofen.
she only has a runny nose and a cough that she has been for ages!!!!!!
Anybody has any idea what might be going on? Should I take her to GP again?
She had taken her lunch well, and I have jut given her some more calpol as her temp is still 38.2. She is in bed again now.
Am I doing the right thing? Gosh, I try to put on a clam face but she has never had high temperature for so long, and it's getting to me now, esp. that there are no signs of what's wrong! not teething, no rash,...NOTHING!
