Red, hot cheeks. Warm back but cool belly?

[bekkyboo]

G is still sick...

In the past hour or so he has got rather red, hot cheeks. My dad said prob a temp. But he is too fidgity to check at the moment. His back is warm ish (its starting to heat up here and he has a light long sleeve shirt, trackies and socks on) but his belly is cool.

I just gave him panadol now (more to ease his throat pain, but if he has a fever itll cover that too) - and his anti-biotic and cold and flu drops...

Should i strip him down a little more for his afternoon nap (that ill put him down for in the next 10min probably).

Also he has been off his water a little bit... As much as i offer it, i don't think he is getting enough as his wet nappies for the day have dropped.... He has 3 and a bit bottles of milk, and offered water at every meal and has a water bottle in the lounge that he goes to when he is hungry and i give it to him every time i sit him down in there... So he is having enough - but not as much is coming out...

Help!

I stripped him down to a short sleeve tshirt and his pants and took his socks off...

Check the back of his neck. Is it hot? What is his current mood? Is he grumpy, restless, whingy?

It was warm.... Mood was tired. So alittle grumpy... not really restless.... but was whingy. He gets like that when i dont fix what ever is bothering him.

He is having his nap now...
