I'm with you in that I have this irrational fear of fevers in my LO, and of course my LO is a monster to try and get Tylenol or Advil into, so it makes it even worse. Hoping her fever stays down!</p> <p>And the onion trick sounds amazing - I am going to have to try that one sometime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1050437 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 18:47:59 +0000 HLK208 1050437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: wow!! That's awesome. I'm totally trying it sometime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1050042 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 15:12:17 +0000 mrbee 1050042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: wow!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1049093 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:07:55 +0000 erwoo 1049093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Oh, I'm so glad the onions worked for you too!

I'll have to remember that when DD gets a fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1049080 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:06:19 +0000 runsyellowlites 1049080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: That's great! I kind of heard about the onion for fever, but never really looked into it.. we'll have to try that next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1049052 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:01:58 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1049052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @erwoo: GUYS!!! I think it actually worked!! I could tell within an hour last night that her temp dropped because her skin was no longer burning hot to the touch, and this morning her temp is at 99.8. The onions are kind of brown now, but I wonder if that's just from oxidation.</p> <p>She's still coughing and moody, but no fever this morning. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1048273 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 01:11:21 +0000 mrbee 1048273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: oh my goodness, that would be so amazing if it worked!! Can't wait to hear!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1048261 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:43:42 +0000 erwoo 1048261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Used to think my gma was weird when she put onions all over the house when someone was sick! Lol!! Now I believe in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1048260 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:42:39 +0000 erwoo 1048260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used sleep sacks with my oldest and now use it for my 16 month old. With my oldest (now 4) I just need to convince him to wear the socks bc he doesn't like the feeling but reluctantly wore it last time he had a fever. Hope she feels better! Get some rest yourself. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1048255 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:28:55 +0000 shopaholic 1048255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: LOL! My dad has this belief that onions cure almost everything! When he is sick, he puts bowls of onions everywhere and eats them raw like an apple. blech! It ends up smelling like Carl's Jr., but funny to hear it's a real thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever/page/2#post-1048254 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:27:34 +0000 dojo 1048254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope she's feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1048250 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:16:18 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1048250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: I'm a huge believer in alternative healing methods so just did this! DD was furious and it was a battle to get the socks on her, but they're on. She's a strong-willed one so I hope they stay on! How did you get your kids to keep their socks on with onions inside? Haha. Had to google it too, and apparently it does work! <a href="http://www.tipking.co.uk/tip/2872.html.." rel="nofollow">http://www.tipking.co.uk/tip/2872.html..</a>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1048235 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 23:52:15 +0000 erwoo 1048235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to hear about this. Try putting sliced onions in a pair of bigger socks that won't fall off of her feet and let her sleep in it. I swear by onions with fevers. I'm 4 for 4 with it with both of my kids. I also use the same onion and leave it sliced in half in a bowl in their room as well. All 4 times both boys woke up the next day with much lower fevers or it's all gone. Most times it's all gone. One time it stayed at 99 but never got any higher after that and then went away. Onions supposedly absorbs the sickness. I hope it's nothing serious! Sound like roseola but definitely monitor and look out for rashes or anything abnormal. And keep the fluids going as well. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1048223 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 23:40:06 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1048223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I have lavender oil! I'm going to go do that right now. She's asleep but wakes up every hour screaming. She feels so hot. :(</p> <p>@HLK208: @autumnlove: thanks ladies! This is day 3 of her fever so hopefully this won't last much longer. I took the day off today, and DH is taking tomorrow off to take care of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1048218 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 23:35:19 +0000 autumnlove 1048218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Oh no! :-( Poor baby and mama! </p> <p>My LO had high fevers for 4 days but she never got a rash. I thought it was roseola because a few kids in her class had it the week before.</p> <p>I hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1048217 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 23:33:43 +0000 HLK208 1048217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: aw, I hope it comes down soon. When E had roseola, her fever was just short of 5 days long and then, finally, the rash happened and the fever was done with. She looked so awful. Ugh. It was terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1048216 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 23:32:12 +0000 runsyellowlites 1048216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Awwww.... I sometimes put a couple drops of lavender oil on a cool/tepid washcloth. Lavender oil is a natural fever reducer (even when used for aromatherapy) &amp; it can help maybe relax her? I hate when the littles aren't feeling well. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1048212 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 23:28:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1048212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Checkers: her fever is back up to 103 today. DH is going to take her to the ped tomorrow, but this could very likely be roseola. She's never had a fever longer than a day, and she is really miserable right now. This is the worst I've seen her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1044353 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:56:55 +0000 Mrs Checkers 1044353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Glad she's feeling better! When A had roseola, she had 3-4 days of high fevers (104 - 105) and it was so scary/sad. Glad N's fever broke this morning though. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1044343 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:54:03 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1044343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: @PrincessBaby: @Mrs. Jump Rope: @Rubies: @chopsuey: I will definitely keep an eagle's eye out for any sort of rash that might appear. She still has a fever at 100.2 degrees right now, but I think that's well within the range of normal especially since kids tend to run high in general anyway. Hoping this passes as soon as it came! Glad to hear roseola rashes don't itch because I really don't want to deal with yet another set of problems...</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: THANK YOU for this comment!! This makes me feel about 1000x better, and I'm going off to find and read that post of yours now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1044147 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:52:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1044147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I am absolutely not a doctor and you should consult with yours, but when Chloe's fever got to 105.5 &amp; had a febrile seizure, we instantly thought it would hurt her brain! The ER doctor and our pedi reassured us that high fevers and brain damage is a myth... They both said our fevers are wired to "shut down" at a certain temp. I wrote a post about it. It made more sense when it was fresh in my memory! My point is that now, we don't freak out over high fevers-- they're unfortunately pretty common in our house :(</p> <p>I hope your LO is feeling better really soon!! When c had roseola I think her fever lasted 2-3 days before the rash broke out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1044058 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:24:02 +0000 PrincessBaby 1044058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is exactly what happened to my LO with Roseola. She was fine in the morning, then out of nowhere started fussing and I realized her head was burning up. Took her temp and it was in the 102s. Tylenol brought it down here and there, but it lasted about 3 days and when it broke, she got all cold and sweaty, and she had the most barely-there rash on her trunk. It sucked! I hope your LO feels better asap! My LO just looked miserable and we could tell she didnt feel good, but other than that, the fever was the only symptom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1044035 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:12:42 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1044035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: when scribble had it, he had a high fever for 2 or 3 days and no other symptoms. Then suddenly he got a mild rash, right after the fever broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1043922 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:37:39 +0000 chopsuey 1043922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: oh no!!!! hope she's feeling better today! my guess would be roseola too, but DD's temp spiked to 104 when she had it..<br /> :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1043914 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:34:28 +0000 runsyellowlites 1043914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: @Rubies: P has gotten it twice too. I freaked at first bc I thought they could only get it once but turns out there are variations of the virus I guess?... Second time wasn't as "severe" though &amp; was much shorter lived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1043890 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:25:07 +0000 Rubies 1043890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: She got it when she was 4 months old and then again right when she turned one. SIGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1043880 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:21:50 +0000 sandy 1043880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I thought they only got roseola once :(</p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: so glad she's doing better today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1043873 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:17:01 +0000 Rubies 1043873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: DD has had roseola twice and the most annoying thing about it is that you don't know it's roseola until the rash appears (usually on day three of fever!). Other than fever, there is no other real symptom. It's torture. But once the rash appears, fever is instantly gone and the good (if you can even call it good) thing is that the rash isn't itchy...Just red and splotchy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-has-a-1029-degree-fever#post-1043871 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:16:44 +0000 mediagirl 1043871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I'm just seeing this now but I'm so glad she's back to normal! I hope she keeps feeling better. There is nothing scarier than not knowing what is wrong with our babies. :( </p>
