Urgent advice please

I don’t want to look too silly if I don’t need to but..

I’m a First time mum today I’ve woke up with cold symptoms and took my temp it was 39.4 degrees Celsius (103f) I thought nothing of it and took some paracetamol to try and bring it down.

A friends just advised me I should of seen a doctor as soon as my temp was over 38 degrees. I didn’t know this!

The paracetamol has brought it right down to 37 degrees 99.5f. Do I still need to see someone I’m completely new to this so sorry if I sound silly.
