Leave Sleeping Or Wake Up?

[sherrardk]

Thing 1 is fast asleep but has a temperature (don't know how high it is but she's hot, I would give her medicine if she was awake.) Should I wake her up and give her some calpol or leave her alone? (She's five and the latest household 'victim' of chicken pox.) Thanks.

Thanks all - her temp is much better today and the spots are slowly appearing. Boy #2 is plastered in big, sore spots and is really suffering (he's 9 so knows how poorly he is). Just waiting for girl to get it now (thing 2 had it first) and that's all of us done (boy #1 had it when he was a toddler and himself had it as a child). Feel really sorry for them as I felt lousy when I had it last week (not so much the spots but the foul headache).
