He seems fine this morning, so I’m going to end him in. Luckily today I only work a half day, so I’ll get him early. I’m glad my work is mostly understanding. In just under three months I’ve had 32 sick hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2903070 Thu, 21 Nov 2019 06:10:06 +0000 pachamama 2903070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: I was gonna say yesterday, fevers are so weird in that they come and go for what seems like days! The same thing happens with my boys. Such a pain to plan for daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2903044 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 20:14:43 +0000 ALV91711 2903044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. </p> <p>I sent him to daycare today as he seemed fine in the morning. By after his nap they called as the fever was back. Because of this I called his Ped’s office and talked to them and they had me bring him in. He gave him a good exam and said viral infection. Lots of fluids and naps if possible. It’s just got to run it’s course. </p> <p>I had to go back to the daycare to get my older DS and talked to the babies teacher. As long as he doesn’t have a fever he can go back in the morning. </p> <p>@Mama Bird: I gave him pouches for dinner and he ate quite a bit and then was pretty happy. </p> <p>@hellobeeboston: DS1 got lots of ear infections and this is what I was worried about, but luckily his ears are clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902993 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 13:17:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 2902993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also call and see what they say... since the cold is there too i'd be worried there might be an ear infection or something that could be related... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902964 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 10:54:20 +0000 PurplePeony 2902964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD had a virus once where she was fever-free in the morning and around 101/102 by late afternoon. I called the nurse line a couple days into it and she said as long as DD was drinking enough fluids and wasn’t acting lethargic/sick, just to keep an eye on it. It ran its course in about a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902955 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 10:07:43 +0000 skiierchck99 2902955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d call the nurses line and ask their opinion! They’ll probably run tests to look for other infections (did this with dd at about the same age and they ran extended tests, all ended up negative). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902952 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 09:54:15 +0000 graceandjoy 2902952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So you went to doctor Monday and now it's Wednesday... I think usually ours tell us to come back if fever is still not broken after 3 days? I can't remember exactly. I might wait a day. But I know these calls are so tough! Sometimes I jump the gun to go b/c I was worried it's an infection that could be treated with meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902947 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 09:37:25 +0000 Mama Bird 2902947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Given that he's acting OK, I'd just keep an eye on it, but not go back yet. My almost one-year-old has similar symptoms since Sunday night. Fever only at night, cough, congestion. She's also barely eating and drinking, so I took her to the doctor yesterday to rule out bronchitis or something. No, apparently it's just a cold-like virus. Apparently the not eating is not 100% connected - she's cutting four or five teeth. I've gone back to feeding her purees and she got a little happier once I got her to eat something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902941 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 08:21:17 +0000 ALV91711 2902941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: with DS1 any time he had a fever he had an ear infection. I’ve never had one of them with a fever for so many days. </p> <p>He woke up this morning with no fever and acting himself. Ate breakfast and playing away. Still stuffy but I don’t expect that to go away soon. We are going to try and go about our regular day and if for some reason the fever comes back I’ll take him to the doctor. </p> <p>@pachamama: I only like medicine if necessary. Fever is when I definitely use it. I’m just glad he seems better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902936 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 07:56:42 +0000 pachamama 2902936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatrician says he worries if a kid has a fever more than 6 days at 104 and to only look at the symptoms (if they're acting very ill). But we are very hands off in terms of meds and antibiotics and my 4 y/o and 1 y/o havr only been on them once total (prob bc we rarely go to the doctor 😬)<br /> Hope he's feeling better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902932 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 07:38:51 +0000 bhbee 2902932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck. I have had this go many ways but they should definitely check it out. Once it was a second virus, often it’s an ear infection and once for my oldest after flu she couldn’t get better fever wise so after several trips they finally gave antibiotics and that fixed it (but she never had an infection they could pinpoint just had to assume from the fevers). She missed a whole week of school getting that figured out, I hope you get it resolved ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902929 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 03:08:17 +0000 ALV91711 2902929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MACSUNSHINE: Thanks! Hopefully I can get him in to see his doctor tomorrow and not just the walk in clinic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902928 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 02:31:19 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2902928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back to doctor. A fever for this long should not be ignored and I would force that with the doctor if they brush it off. 5 days is the rule of thumb that we follow. Good luck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-would-you-go-back-to-the-doctor#post-2902927 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 02:11:13 +0000 ALV91711 2902927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 14.5 months. Saturday night he woke up with a fever. He has been up and down. He’s also had a cold since the previous weekend. Monday morning he seemed good and I sent him to daycare. He woke up from his nap super warm and they sent him home. </p> <p>DH got him and I took him to the walk in clinic when I got home. No infection and everything sounded good, she said to keep medicating and try and keep him cooled down. </p> <p>I kept him home Tuesday. By the afternoon he was seeming to be on the mend. Playing, eating and not so warm. He woke up just now and is burning up. </p> <p>Would you go back to the doctor in the morning? Or any other ideas of what to do? </p>
