My 11month old daughter has a temperature of 38 which she has had since yesterday. We have given her Calpol at 4hrly intervals. She also seems to have some weakness in her legs this evening in particular (standing up in her cot her legs are a little wobbly). Should i take her to hospital?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. . You should be worried but not too much. After giving Cal pol and plenty of water temperature may easily get back to normal range. The most common cause of hyperthermia is viral infection or teething. You should discuss this with your treating Doctor. I think you can also give tepid sponging as well or Adolf suppositories 125 mg per rectum if she refuses from syrup or when she sleeps. For further treatment you need experts guidance by child specialist. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your baby good health.
