Is 41.4 fever good reason to go to A&E?

My 14 months old boy had fever of 40 since 8 pm, gave him calpol and I woke up at 12 am to see how he was. He was really warm so I took his temperature and it was 41.4. So we took him to A&E. We are still in the waiting room and I am wondering if I overeacted ? He has no other symptoms. His fever is coming down now.
