Sorry this has probably been asked a million times before but I can't be asked searching through the threads. Spencer had a temp of 39.6, I stripped him off, gave him pamol and phoned healthline. Nurse said I had done the right thing and we were ok to stay at home unless temp went over 40 or other symptoms arise. I checked his temp again an hour after having pamol and it had come down to 38.9 so that's great. She said to give him the pamol every 4-6 hours so I'm gonna go in at 10 and take his temp and give him some (he has happily gone to bed, as he was very very tired, but not lethargic).
Anyway my question is, that I forgot to ask when on the phone, should I set my alarm to give him some pamol in the night or just leave him till the morning? -------------

I would only give it to him if he wakes. That way you know that he's waking up because he doesn't feel right IYGWIM ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| but if you are a worrier, set your alarm and get up and feel his forehead. Only wake him if you are really worried then. I know I will be checking on my wee one all night as he wasnt a happy camper and he doesnt have a temp. But then I am up half a dozen times peeing and the loo is next to his room. |

I think I might wait and see what his temp is at 10, if its gone back up then i will set the alarm just in case. I already put the angelcare monitor back in there That's a good point about the weeing and Spencer is next door to our bathroom too, will have to try and remember as I normally go to the loo in a zombie like state.-------------

my zombie like state stretches to a zombie checking Tom as well.
