My grand daughter (9mths) had her combined flu/swine on Tuesday afternoon by 1am we were up with my grand daughter, she vomited the childs panadol (we now realise she hates it, so trying childrens Nurofen - but this raises the issue to maybe check how they tolerate pain killers before they are needed) so we gave her the good old tepid bath to bring her down from 38.4 deg to 36.2. As a precaution we rang the Qld health line to see if any issues to be concerned with, they were professional and said not to worry unless went over 40 and/or she had rashes then seek help. Her temp again went up to 38 after a short while, then fell as she went back to sleep. I think it is probably far more common for the temp to go up in probably lots of young kids and most parents might not even know it (sleeping through). Authorities are right to check for a bad batch and report it. But unfortunately these stories can have a knee jerk reaction and other routine vaccinations are then questioned by parents.
