I never wake my son to dose meds (unless instructed by doc). Sleep seems to be the best medicine and often after he wakes he won't go back down when sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946364 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 10:15:33 +0000 MamaChin 1946364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Even though I'm a second time mom and my brain knows you're all right and that's the advice is give, my heart is like WHAT IF HER BRAIN FRIES?! I took her in to the ped yesterday, 104.4 was super scary to me. They took a blood test and he said it's a virus and she seems fine, just to ride it out. She did wake up soon after I posted with 103.3. She was NOT happy about the tepid bath I threw her in, but then she drank some bath water and was fine! Haha, yay for fluids!</p> <p>Thanks everyone!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946344 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 09:38:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1946344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor baby :-( I just let them sleep. Have you tried the Fever All suppositories? They are so much easier to give than oral Tylenol when they have fevers and don't feel good. I hope she feels better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946343 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 09:38:12 +0000 Mae 1946343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: oh I'd be on the phone to doc by 102! But sounds like as long as you have a handle on a plan with your doc fevers aren't that dangerous. Granted I think my doc office is a bit crunchy but I sort of appreciate that personally :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946338 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 09:28:24 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1946338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Wow! 106?! Thanks for sharing...I would probably be packing up to head to the ER at that point without even calling my dr. I am fairly sure LO's highest temp has been 102, and even that scared me. I am a wuss! (plus I read a book about a little girl who had a febrile seizure and it scarred me for life! Glad to know they aren't usually harmful) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946334 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 09:23:47 +0000 Bao 1946334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let LO sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946333 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 09:20:29 +0000 Mae 1946333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let her sleep!! This is what my ped says about fevers: <a href="http://www.olentangypeds.com/Fever_Facts.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.olentangypeds.com/Fever_Facts.pdf</a></p> <p>Excuse the awful font lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946332 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 09:20:11 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1946332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has always been pretty good about taking a "dream feed" of meds...you could try that. But if she doesn't feel scary warm I would just let her sleep. I am sure she is just catching up. Have you already talked to your doctor? 104.4 seems crazy high to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946320 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 08:50:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1946320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let her sleep unless I felt that she feels really really really warm. Do you have a temporal thermometer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feverish-baby-do-you-wake-to-give-medicine#post-1946318 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 08:43:38 +0000 MamaChin 1946318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 8 months and has a high fever. I got it down with a tepid bath and toggling Tylenol and Advil before she went to sleep last night. She's been sleeping for 12 hours, the Advil would have worn off around 2am, it is now 8:30 my time. I just went in and she's warm again but sound asleep. Do I wake her for another bath + medicine or let her sleep? Her fever reached 104.4 yesterday. </p>
