DS 21mo had a temp of 39.5 at Friday lunch time. Since then it has only come down when he's been dosed up with calpol or ibuprofen. Both Fri and sat nights he was very restless and had a high temp. If we stop the medicine the temp goes back up to around 39. It got down to 37 yesterday afternoon but has generally been around 37.5 with the medicine.
He has a blocked nose and he's barely eaten since Thursday. He is drinking lots of water and milk though. He seems a bit lethargic today.
Should we see the doctor tomorrow if the high temperature persists?
