Agreed. You should have a thermometer with you.
If the temperature around 36 degree and below still ok. But you still need to feed the baby with medicine.
If more than that, it is recommended to bring your baby to hospital.
I have practiced keeping a few medicine i.e for fever and flu.
True but normal medicine usually takes too long for the body to absorb.If the temperature around 36 degree and below still ok. But you still need to feed the baby with medicine.

If your baby has high fever (>39C), try to wipe his body and especially head area with a damp towel. Medicine usually takes long time to absorb, so ask your doc for 1~2 pieces of those pill insert via anus for faster absorption. After did the both step to reduce the temp, then only proceed to the hospital (doc were sleepy or have to wait for turns).

Of course, but I think TS specifically mentioned wanting to go to a paediatric specialist, and not wanting to see a GP at all.
During non office hours, the ones on standby at hospital are usually emergency and O&G docs. If baby is in danger (not breathing, temperature too high, having seizure or needing resuscitation), the emergency physician will handle the case, not a paed.
If you ask me, I would say its really nonsense. Even paeds have different recommendations. Actually they scare baby liver cant cope with the medicine. I do wonder though if there were any difference between taking 5ml every 8hrs vs 2.5ml every 4hrs...During non office hours, the ones on standby at hospital are usually emergency and O&G docs.
