Hello Onorina
I am sorry to hear your LO is unwell. It does sound like they have a low grade fever which could suggest your baby is trying to fight something off.
How is your LO now? Have you sought advice yet since you posted?

Hello Tracey,
Last night he had a temperature of 38, had to give him some baby paracetamol to get it down. Today he has a yellow sticky stuff coming out of his eye, runny nose, just a bit of caught, but did get a diarrhea instead. Also doesn't drink as much milk as he always does. Still every 2 hours but 2 or 3oz maximum instead of his usual 5 to 7oz.
Not sure what to do with all this bouquet, will give a call to GP tomorrow morning.
Thank you for coming back to me.
I'm sorry to hear your little chap is still poorly.
I would give the GP a call in the morning to chat this through with them.
Please do remember that you can call NHS 111 at any time to get help out of hours if you think you can't wait until tomorrow.
I hope he begins to turn a corner soon.
Best wishes
Tracey HV
