My 11 wo seems to have caught the nasty virus DD5 had last week. Last night he has a temp of 38 so I called NHS Direct who got the OOH GP to call me. He diagnosed a virus and told me to alternate calpol and Neurophen and if this doesnt bring down the temp to 37 or under to get back in touch. I didn't realise an 11 wo could have neurophen & I feel nervous going it to him. Today his temp is more stable although he has had two lots of calpol. Bless him he is grumpy and at time lethargic but smiling at the moment. I am going to take him to my own GP forth thing in the morning.. Just wanted someone to share with really as DH is being a total knob and accusing me (as per usual) of over-worrying)
