My LO was really congested and phlegmy at around 8 weeks and the doctor checked his temperature and his ears. She said there was nothing I could do about it and I just had to wait for it to pass since he had no other symptoms. </p> Mrs Checkers on "what's the first symptom you look for if LO is sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-first-symptom-you-look-for-if-lo-is-sick#post-366025 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:01:27 +0000 Mrs Checkers 366025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually check for a fever. </p> heffalump on "what's the first symptom you look for if LO is sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-first-symptom-you-look-for-if-lo-is-sick#post-364661 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 05:49:35 +0000 heffalump 364661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel to see if she's warm to see if she has a fever. </p> CupQuakeWalk on "what's the first symptom you look for if LO is sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-first-symptom-you-look-for-if-lo-is-sick#post-364316 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:39:14 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 364316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say fever. Honestly fevers freak me out and they confirm the illness for me. If there isn't a fever then I'll take the situation more casually/ lightly. </p> Andrea on "what's the first symptom you look for if LO is sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-first-symptom-you-look-for-if-lo-is-sick#post-364306 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:35:29 +0000 Andrea 364306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either I've noticed that she feels warm or she is especially cranky. </p> chopsuey on "what's the first symptom you look for if LO is sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-first-symptom-you-look-for-if-lo-is-sick#post-364300 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:33:37 +0000 chopsuey 364300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO hasn't been sick too many times, but usually the first sign is a warm forehead. </p> matador84 on "what's the first symptom you look for if LO is sick?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-first-symptom-you-look-for-if-lo-is-sick#post-364130 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 16:45:26 +0000 matador84 364130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO (8 weeks old) seems congested and has a tiny baby cough. We took him to daycare for the first time this past week, and of course on the third day they called me to say one of the babies in the room has a confirmed case of RSV. Lovely! I'm sure he's fine, he seems generally happy, but what is the first sign you look for if you think your little little one might be sick? </p>
