Why Am I So Lethargic Today?
my 11 month old girl is unsually lethergic in today and falling asleep for a few minutes or more at a time, she is also quite hot to touch on body and head. Have given her some Calpol, stripped her down and put her in her cot to sleep. What could it be?

HI
Well come to HCM
The best way to confirm the fever is read the body temperature with thermometer and not just putting a hand on body surface and get the idea of fever this could give the surface temperature and not the core temperature, try to read the temperature and if this is the fever then you can give the medicine, hope this helps.
