    Between 37 - 37.5 decrees C. Above this is classed as a slight temp. Calpol or equivilent will bring this down to normal. Hope all is ok.

    Hiya hun,
    Holly takes terrible temps when she isn't well, we had to get an ambulance to take her to hosp it was that high once and she had a fit. The doctor there was fab and said they would class a temp anything over 38, the advice I was given was strip them down to just a nappie and at bed time a thin sheet only, I was told NOT to spounge her down or bath her as they now want the child to bring the temp down themselves and us "forcing it" can cause problems like shock. Also calpol was to be given every 4 hours and nurofen 3 times a day. Another thing is to make sure they are drinking LOADS.

    I had to have Holly at the docs a few days ago with her temp nearly at 40 and they told me the same thing, its sooo horrible watching them ill, Holly has gastric flu and its sooo awful to watch. Hope your lo gets better soon xxx
