A member asked:

Son is 1yr 8 months and was fine the whole day with a sudden fever of 38 degree. ive given him calpol now to see if i can break the fever. recommenda?

Just monitor: I would neither treat or call this much of a fever. Normal body temperature fluctuates during the day and this would just reach above the high end of normal. Mild fever is a normal body healing process. If the kid is taking fluids well & playing some I would just monitor the process. If it gets stuck for more than 8 hrs above 39 I would have him seen.
