Fevers are so scary when they are that young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1861742 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:25:15 +0000 singingbee 1861742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: Poor guy! We would do steamy showers when LO was stuffy. I would sit with her or would actually shower and sit her in the bouncy chair. Then I'd use the Nose Frieda on her when I was done. We got the Maty's rub from Walgreens. It's like baby Vicks, but all natural. LO had croup when she was 5 months and her new 'scary' number was 104. Her temp got up to 102.7. It was scary and she only had a mild case. Glad things were going down without tylenol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1861342 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 12:09:45 +0000 kentuckygirl 1861342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: he is almost always a little raspy but today has more mucous.</p> <p>We saw the Dr. this morning. He believes M has a UTI but was unable to get a urine sample. </p> <p>Thank you all for the support &amp; love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1861125 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 06:14:50 +0000 spaniellove 1861125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: So glad to hear his fever is down. It would be a good idea to get him in this morning and hopefully they will make an effort to do that. Nose Frida and saline drops sound good; this is a dumb question but does he tend to get congested or is this unusual for him? I ask because that's the norm for J.</p> <p>Oh- and FWIW, our ped is not a huge fan of using Tylenol first for very young babies without being sure about where the fever's coming from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1861100 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 04:55:48 +0000 kentuckygirl 1861100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all! We did just let him sleep last night. His fever is down to 99 F this morning. He didn't have any Tylenol last night. Our Ped has office hours this morning, so I will call to see if we should go in. He does sound congested this morning so I have used saline drops and the Nose Frieda. Any other suggestions on how to help him? He is nursing normally. Thank you all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1861081 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 02:12:17 +0000 spaniellove 1861081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm responding late and youve probably already decided what to do, but we were told 100.4 was a fever. I'd try to call sooner rather than later since phone triage can take a while and babies show symptoms of sickness differently than older kids so it's harder to rely on their symptoms. Really hope M is okay! They cant be getting sick yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1861072 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 01:08:02 +0000 Cherrybee 1861072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope your LO feels better soon. Get some medicine down him and keep an eye out. Our first fever was at 8 wks and I was so scared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1861038 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 22:33:49 +0000 singingbee 1861038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: I always called to just give me peace of mind. They were great. Always made me feel better. I never felt stupid for calling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1861037 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 22:31:14 +0000 kentuckygirl 1861037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: thank you! I will call tonight if it goes any higher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1860995 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 21:14:29 +0000 singingbee 1860995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: I always called our nurses line, which happen to go to our children's hospital. Hope your little one feels better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1860987 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 21:04:03 +0000 kentuckygirl 1860987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: thanks!</p> <p>@Jess1483: Thank you! RSV that young sounds so scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1860984 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 21:00:59 +0000 kentuckygirl 1860984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I haven't given him anything yet. Need to find his Tylenol dose instructions from his shots last month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1860979 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 20:54:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1860979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it comes down with medicine I don't worry too much. Unless it doesn't respond to meds (below100) or there are other symptoms I would wait it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1860976 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 20:51:46 +0000 avivoca 1860976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first fever is so scary. Love to you and your boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1860968 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 20:39:30 +0000 Jess1483 1860968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a few super early fevers. The lethargy/feeling bad is worse than the fever itself, so if he still seems ok, I think I'd just keep taking his temp and monitoring it until morning. But you also just have to go with your gut. I made a lot of nurse line calls in the early days.</p> <p>My guy had RSV when he was 3 months and we ended up in the ER for a brief time. It's so scary. Love to you and your little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/14-week-old-has-fever#post-1860966 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 20:37:58 +0000 kentuckygirl 1860966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 14 week old baby has a fever :( . It's 101.6 rectally. He doesn't act like he feels bad. I read that anything over 102.2 is cause for concern for a 3 month old. He just drifted off to sleep. I think I will wake him in a little while to check his temperature again. Poor baby :( I will definitely call the Dr in the morning. Would you call tonight?</p> <p>Did your LO ever get a fever this young? He started daycare 3 weeks ago, I hope this isn't a sign of illnesses to come. </p>
