A member asked:
My 6 month old baby had a fever of 38.5 degrees. i gave him calpol and it went down to 36.5. must i take him to my gp or what must i do?

Other symptoms ?: This is a minimal fever to start with. If the kid is alert, interactive, feeding okay & playful you can likely just monitor this at home. If the kid looks & acts sickly, feeds poorly & is disinterested in play, go in.
