I would get an emergency GP appointment if it were my son, A&E seems a bit unnecessary right now.

If I had rushed to A&E every time one of my kids had a temp for 48 hrs + I may as well have moved into the place. A GP visit is sufficient for this, if the GP says hospital is needed then so be it. Stop panicking this poor mother for something that is probably nothing more than a mild infection that will improve with fluids and rest.
