Whenever you’re unsure in the future give 13Health a call. They are great and will give you an idea of what to do so you don’t have to wait around and check for others advice online. Really high temperatures can be extremely dangerous and it’s good you were able to bring it down. Also, have a look at what hospitals are around in the area you will be in for the future as sometimes you need them when you aren’t expecting it.

Can you give her an icy pole?
If you call 1800 022 222 you will get free, fast medical advice from the government medical people. They can tell you where you can take your baby or what you can do at home to help your baby.
Can you let us know know how you go?
Also try nurofen as well as Panadol its very effective and they can have both at the same time.
Good luck mama xx

Hi, I am a retired Nursery Nurse. Check to see if with of her ears are red, does she have a rash, has she been eating normally. Make sure to offer her cool water regularly and don't cover her up. No need to sponsor ger her down, it's not recommended any more as child can get upset and temp goes back up again. As previous commentators suggest give her medication to lower temperature. If it doesn't stay down after 24 hours or if it continues to rise take her to your doctor or hospital. High temperatures without symptoms are very common in young children and usually last for two or three days so try not to worry. Please bear in mind I am NOT a doctor, my advice is based on many years experience with babies and young children,. Hope she gets better soon.
