She seemed fine this morning but when we went to meet some people at the airport I noticed she felt really warm so I checked her temperature and she was over 39C! She seemed perfectly fine so we were kind of unsure what to do. We gave her some paracetemol to try and bring the fever down but it just made her sleepy. She perked up a little bit around lunch time when we were watching some of the planes at the airshow, but she wouldn't eat anything. She became really drowsy and lethargic when we got home so we gave her more paracetemol and she fell asleep for an hour or so.
She's awake now, still quite warm but playing with toys and seems happy enough. We're going to keep an eye on her and see how she does tonight. If she still has a fever tomorrow morning I'm going to take her to the doctor. It's so annoying that doctors offices are closed on weekends, it's like they don't think anyone will ever get sick on a Saturday or a Sunday. I know hospitals are always open, but I feel bad using emergency rooms when it's not really an emergency.
She suddenly seems much better. We gave her some baby ibuprofen and she's back to her normal self. She was even just laughing while she bounced on her trampoline. Wouldn't have known it was the same baby from two hours ago!
