my 2.5 year old daughter has had a temp of 39.5 for 2 days and a raised temp on and off for 3/4 weeks. Keeps spiking to 39.5 and sometimes 40 but never back down to her "normal temp" for her which is 36.4. She is shivering on and off and was sick once last night. would appreciate some advice. I am using calpol and ibuprofen to bring down temp which does work but only for a couple of hours and then it spikes again.
