If they are lethargic, that's a big problem. That being said, poor DD had a UTI :( Hope your LO feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152967 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 15:18:00 +0000 charlotte 2152967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His fever went down to 99 before nap! So happy. </p> <p>@littlejoy: we may skip the bath too - for that reason / he is FREAKING over just a diaper change so I think bath is going to be "no-kay" according to him. Haha. 5 days of fever is terrifying! I can't even handle day 2! </p> <p>Really appreciate all the good advice and reassurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152525 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 11:18:13 +0000 littlejoy 2152525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best wishes! I was going to suggest alternating ibu and acet every 3 hours. No more than 4 doses of either in 24 hours. We actually opted to not do a bath ... we didn't want her to shiver (which could raise her temp). </p> <p>Our LO just had a virus for 6+ days ... 5 days of high fever. It was scary!!! Medicine is such a blessing ... it really helps make them more comfortable, and it'll bring the fever down. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152403 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 10:11:22 +0000 charlotte 2152403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all. You guys are geniuses :happy: she said to alternate the meds and do lukewarm bath and we will talk again later today to make sure they are getting it down and that he is drinking enough water etc. poor guy has been glued to my pillow since 5am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152135 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 08:00:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2152135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you alternating advil and tylenol? I would see if that dose brings it down, give a dose of tylenol and then see if it helps.</p> <p>Any other crazy signs, I would bring her in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152134 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 07:59:36 +0000 lawbee11 2152134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call. Hope he feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152128 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 07:57:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2152128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call again too, but C had something very similar this weekend. To help get the fever down you can rub her forehead with a cool washcloth, and have her take a lukewarm (not cold) bath. Don't over dress her. </p> <p>But yeah i would still call again for peace of mind. </p> <p>C had this for almost three days, but only one really bad day where even alternating Tylenol and Motrin the fever was still breaking through. It's so sad, but the fever is a sign of her body fighting the virus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152127 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 07:56:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2152127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, call.<br /> Hope his fever breaks and he gets well soon.<br /> :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152122 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 07:55:05 +0000 Mamaof2 2152122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If meds aren't bringing the fever down then yes I would call </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-1043-fever#post-2152117 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 07:54:19 +0000 charlotte 2152117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO (2 yrs old) had a cold for a week with no fever and then woke up yesterday AM @ 102. Dr said ears were clear and it's likely viral so to wait 2 more days before coming back. I gave Advil an hour ago and it's 104.3 now. I'm freaking out. Do I call back ? I referred to the Seattle childrens link that has been posted but it's hard to be rational when he's so miserable and hot. WWYD? </p>
