If its persisting after 24+ hours i call the doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-fever#post-2572544 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 16:43:05 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2572544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally wait and see, especially with no other symptoms. If he's active and eating and his normal self, I won't give meds. If he's miserable, not eating, and it's high or prolonged then I will give Advil ASAP. I find it works better than Tylenol for him at least, especially overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-fever#post-2572509 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 16:31:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2572509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's a normal fever (101-102), keep dosing with Motrin, and if she seems uncomfortable, alternate Tylenol and Motrin to keep it down. Maybe a cool bath. </p> <p>If it's a high fever like we if this week- like over 104, I call the pediatrician. Our forehead thermometer is a little off but it was reading her at 106 when I freaked out. Even then the answer was to treat the symptoms- so if she's uncomfortable keep dosing with Motrin and trying to cool her down. </p> <p>That said, lately anytime she gets a fever (or, apparently, breaths) she gets an ear infection. So watch for that too.<br /> Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-fever#post-2572504 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 16:27:12 +0000 mrsjyw 2572504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 is not coughing and it's not a cold but he woke up with a fever. And it's persisting, just cooling down with meds.</p> <p>We did get a HFM notice last week, so I'm holding my breath and keeping the kids apart as much as I can....</p> <p>What do you do when your LO has a fever, but no other apparent symptoms? </p>
