Mine had this literally 2 days ago..... we kept her in nappy only and monitored her all night.... it lasted 12 hours and then completely went away and 2 molars popped out...... but I'd say go with your gut xx

It’s coming down the temp with calpol it’s 38.5 now and she seems to have regained some energy and is back smiling and walking about. She’s gone bed now but it’s a lot cooler tonight. It’s 19.6 degrees in her room so worried about her being cold

My lo had this and he was fine after two days. It’s the body getting rid of something. If worries seek medical attention. It’s a good sign it’s coming down though 😊
