fever 38.8

chelles · January 2012

Hi ladies, my baby boy has got afever of 38.8. I have given him calpol 5ml and ibubrofen 2.5ml to bring it down. The thing is we went to the gp on Tuesday for ear and throat infection and was given antibiotics to treat the infection. He didn't have a fever then but has one now. What do you all think.

Haven't had to deal with this yet sorry did you call pediatrician lol that's what I would do.

Yes they said he is trying to fight something off but should continue with the antibiotics. I think he is teething

That's about 101 close to 102 in Fahrenheit. Where did u get that, under the arm?

*my paper says 101.8, under arm would be 102.8
