My Mum has an infection and possibly a temperature, but we can't tell if it's just the thermometer that is wrong.
We went to the doctors a few days ago, results on Monday. In the meantime told to see if antibiotics help but to call if it gets worse. She is feeling really sick and unable to eat.
Called the cancer helpline they said if temp goes above 38 call them. Thermometer said 38.1 then 37.5 one after the other. So I don't know what to do.
I feel I should be doing something but don't know what
