She'd wake up if it's getting bad/she can't sleep, which has been true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2462294 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:28:42 +0000 SweetiePie 2462294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would only check overnight if he woke up really upset or feeling hot/sweaty. If he was sleeping and seemed fine I wouldn't. Knock on wood it's never happened and he's 17 months. </p> <p>Also, their temperatures do tend to rise at night for whatever reason. My ped told me not to worry about it. </p> <p>And I know it varies from parent to parent but I tend to give Motrin at bedtime if he has a fever. So that might be why I never have to check it overnight? I just figure that if he's sick he needs rest and if giving Motrin will help him rest it's worth a shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2462210 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 15:24:58 +0000 gingerbebe 2462210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fever seems to be controlled with Advil and Tylenol but he's been digging his thumbs into his ears so I have an appointment at a far off facility this afternoon to check for an ear infection (our local offices are closed for the holiday). Le sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2462056 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 13:32:44 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2462056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I'm sorry. :( My dd goes back to school tomorrow after being out about two weeks and I still don't think she's 100% and neither is the rest of the family, so I'm nervous!</p> <p>@travellingbee: @MamaG: glad to hear the nights went ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461819 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 10:23:04 +0000 FaithFertility 2461819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: I remember :(<br /> I just think these gals have cold that are hanging on!<br /> G is now on amoxicillin for a sinus infection, due to fever and bad breath! Pedi said it maybe one! Since she seems to be ok one day and sick again the next!</p> <p>It seems to be helping and her cough sounds so much better as if loose and coughing it all. Up!</p> <p>It is so awful when they are sick!<br /> She is cutting 4 new teeth too 4!!!!! And had a rash from meds!!! She(WE) need a break!!! As do you girls too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461784 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 09:54:35 +0000 MamaG 2461784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: HFM was my very first thought this morning too. She's had it already at 9 months (bad!). She was standing in her crib so I immediately grabbed her hands to inspect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461781 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 09:52:57 +0000 FaithFertility 2461781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Hope she is feeling better! Funny about the spots! I panicked the other day thinking HFM because G woke with red spots around mouth, but I think it was sleeping in drool too, as they went away in an hr or so!<br /> Her nose is stuffy and with heater on I think she sleeps with mouth opened more and drools </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461766 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 09:29:13 +0000 MamaG 2461766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Sorry :( Hope he is on the mend quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461736 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 09:00:40 +0000 MamaG 2461736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She woke just as I was leaving this morning and felt only a little warm and not feverish. She has three red spots on her face and her bed was wet with drool. I hope the spots are just irritation and nothing more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461694 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 08:16:02 +0000 travellingbee 2461694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: glad to hear she did ok. My LO has the flu and had a fever yesterday of 103.4. He slept through the night though (and DH felt his back at 5am when our baby woke and said he didn't feel hot. So yay!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461687 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 08:05:30 +0000 MamaG 2461687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: thanks for asking. She was restless but never upset so we let her be. She's still sleeping. Dad is spending the day home with her so I'm doing the morning hustle with the Pre K kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461671 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 07:42:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 2461671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: how did the night go? Feeling any better? </p> <p>@gingerbebe: sick of illnesses here too. Everyone is healthy for the second but it just feels constant this winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461638 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 03:06:19 +0000 gingerbebe 2461638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh my 17 month old woke up at 11pm with a fever! Ran to get him Advil and ice water and prepped another sippy and syringe for later in the night. I'm sooo sick of daycare plagues. He's been sick since mid December!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461627 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 01:44:32 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2461627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd sort of be like @gingerbebe: ...expecting a wakeup, but not initiating it. I have checked if LO seemed particularly bad or last week when she had pneumonia and was spiking every evening for almost two weeks. Her doctor was asking how high it would get. But in this case I'd probably check right before bed and then anticipate a wakeup. Hope your LO feels better asap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461604 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 23:18:15 +0000 gingerbebe 2461604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son will wake up pissed if his fever gets worse and/or he feels like garbage. I would make up a syringe of Advil and have a sippy of water ready on the nightstand and get ready for a MOTN waking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461597 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:43:13 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2461597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't check unless she woke on her own and wouldn't fall back asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461595 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:41:55 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2461595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually don't check unless she wakes up and doesn't settle back down quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461592 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:38:04 +0000 travellingbee 2461592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( I probably wouldn't check either unless she woke in her own. Or if I touched her and she was burning up. Feel better little one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461586 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:30:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2461586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I wouldn't check overnight, she always wakes me just fine in her own when she feels bad. And I wouldn't give meds just for a 101.7, but I do give them if she has a fever and seems uncomfortable. So I guess if she wakes up overnight, I'd give her ibuprofen. Poor baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-at-nighttime#post-2461584 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:23:34 +0000 MamaG 2461584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo2 is almost 15 months. She's had a cold on and off for about 5 weeks. It got worse again Friday night with lots of coughing overnight. This evening she threw up right before dinner. But was okay immediately following. She had saltines and applesauce for dinner. I'm a BRAT diet follower. Her temp was 99.9. We did bath before bed and her temp went down. Just checked her since was restless and temp is 100.7. She's been asleep for about 2.5 hours. </p> <p>So the real question. How frequently do you check temperature overnight? I haven't given meds at this point. </p>
