It could be a teething temperature, especially if they’ve woken crying too - could signal teething pain. Have you noticed teething recently? I’d try calpol and do the temp again about 30 mins later and see! If it continues to rise or other symptoms happen, call 111
@Amy Draper I was thinking it could be due to teething because he can’t get his hands out of his mouth , he fell asleep again on my chest after being asleep for more than 1hour , should I wake him to give some Calpol or leave him to sleep ? Thank you for the advice x
Let him sleep and when he wakes up give him then x
If he needs the rest, let him sleep! Test his temp again when waking and see about calpol! I give my little girl calpol for teething sometimes
Take him/her straight to hospital anything above 38 is classed as dangerous
My little one went into hospital with a temperature of 38.2 and it turned out he has bronchitis and that’s why he had the temperature of 38.2
So I gave him calpool twice today and his temperature is of 38.6 at the moment, I rang 111 and I’m waiting for a call back , hope it’s nothing 😣 he seems fine , he’s smiling and laughing it’s just the temperature
I would see if calpol brings down the temperature, if it doesn’t then I would call 111 if no other symptoms X
