Sick and hot

We measured his temperature as 38.4c on two occasions today. Panandol made him feel a lot better on both occasions but his fluid intake is well down today. His home care nurse visited and she recommended that we give him some gastrolyte to re-hydrate him a bit becuase he would not drink water or his Nutrini (formula). He is not dehydrated yet but of course we don't want him to become that way so I went to the chemist and bought some Hydralyte (which is a re-hydration fluid like gastrolyte). He was happy to take 60ml of that from a 20ml syringe.
