Our pedi wasn't overly concerned either as a virus was going around. After day 5 of the fever though, I demanded she been seen. They tested her for a UTI, which was negative, but that is one of the things they look at if a fever lasts multiple days. In the end, we put her on antibiotics and she got better fairly quickly.</p> <p>So you know, we got a notice from our daycare that there is a fever virus going around. Lasts about 24 hours or so. Hope that's it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-877101 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 20:59:21 +0000 skibobrown 877101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: Yeah -- My daughter was acting pretty fine at the beginning of it. Then she definitely got more sad and grumpy as the fever peaked... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-877086 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 20:53:47 +0000 StbHisMrs 877086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: It's so strange! We took her brother to a friends house for a sleepover, she played for quite some, I hope we didn't spread this to them :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-877054 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 20:27:03 +0000 skibobrown 877054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter caught a similar sounding virus last week. She had a 102 and higher fever for 2 full days. She didn't really have any other symptoms. Other people I know near us have also had this virus, and it has lasted a bit longer for some. I hope your daughter feels better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-877036 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 20:05:45 +0000 StbHisMrs 877036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: Oh my I hope it doesn't last 3 days! I'm glad your lo is feeling better.</p> <p>I gave her a dose of Tylenol this morning, and she didn't have a fever at all until 5:45 when it went back up to 103. She isn't eating much, but she's drinking water and milk like normal, she's a finicky eater to begin with. She's currently napping on the couch, but missed her normal nap earlier today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-876463 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 12:45:12 +0000 autumn865 876463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through a fever the other week with DD (9 months). The pedi didn't seem worried when I called several times and said the would see her if 1) the fever was over 104 or 2) lasted more then 5 days. They told me to give her Tylenol only and then for her congestion to use a cool humidifier. Her temp went up to 103 but always responded to the Tylenol. I hope this helps! Just snuggle up with your LO and I'm sure it will pass quickly :) our fever lasted about 3 days and then she was feeling better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-876100 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 08:03:10 +0000 StbHisMrs 876100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: it's sort of normal, she puts up a fight for almost everything. I just used the ear thermometer and it said 103.1, ten minutes after advil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-875939 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 06:09:03 +0000 anbanan15 875939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: we had problems with the forehead being very inaccurate but our ear thermometer has been right on...is not tolerating the ear thermometer normal for her? If it's not then I would wider about an ear infection. I hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-875885 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 04:57:46 +0000 StbHisMrs 875885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: she's 20 months old. I'm not sure if I'm getting an accurate reading, we have a forehead scanner and ear thermometer. She won't tolerate the ear thermometer, the forehead scanner says 100 at 3am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-875862 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 01:59:51 +0000 aprk 875862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is M? I hope she is feeling better. I am personally wary of fevers but I know it means the body is fighting off something and that's *good*. Personally if it stays high for much longer I'd probably call the after hours line or go to urgent care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-875857 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 01:52:04 +0000 StbHisMrs 875857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's sound asleep, no whining, wimpering, or complaining but it's shot up to 103.3. Advil at 7:40, and I just gave her Tylenol at 11:40. I've set alarms to check every 3 hours, but I doubt I'll get any sleep.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexplained-high-fever#post-875754 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 23:15:27 +0000 StbHisMrs 875754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked M up from the sitter today and she seemed fine, went to Grandma's and played on her swing, just fine. I started dinner at home and went looking for her, it was quiet! She was half passed out on her sisters bed, and burning up! I took her temp and it was 102.3. I gave her some motrin, she laid on the couch for about 10 minutes then was up and running like normal. The only thing I've noticed is her 2 bottom eye teeth, and her gums are really red and sore looking around them. </p> <p>I am not sure what's causing this, and it's making me a little stressed.</p> <p>Gave her a bath, a little warmer than luke warm, mistake. Now her fever is back to 99.3 and she's sleeping on the couch. I think I'll stay out here with her and keep an eye on her. </p>
