he came in today around 6pm (england time) and was freezing, fair enough it has been snowing, he came in and got by the fire ans asked for a hot drink which is unusual for him because he hates hot drinks.
i felt he was acting strange but he said he was fine
he started falling asleep sitting up and looking really groggy, he then fell asleep, and he looked flushed so i took his temeprature and it was 39.4, i woke him up and told him to cool down and gave him paracetamol.
the paracetamol brought the temperature down to between 38.1 and 38.8
i have been chwcking his temperature every 15 minutes and i have noticed its going up and down very quickly.
it went to 39.9 at one point, and the lowest its been was 37.9
he says he feels fine, but i just sense something is not right, he says he has a little groggy throat but he feels himself
he has seemed very tired, he is asleep now but i took his temperature when he was asleep at it is 38.6
is he ok? why is his temp doing this

I think he's feverish and comming down with a cold or flu. Keep giving him the paracetamol and let him sleep. But if your gut is saying that something's wrong than do take him to the ER or call ur GP (is this what they still call doctors who make house calls in England?).
