What Causes A Fever And Lethargy?
My 13 month old baby boy has not been himself for 3 days. Slight raised temperature of 36.5, very clingy, off his food, waking up screaming a couple of times at night and very hot when I pick him up and today very lathargic. I m assuming teething but never seen it this bad. He s pretty much crying on and off all day and just v v sleepy - should I take him to the doctors? Thank you
