The pedi's where I live are so script happy so having this has saved us alot of unnecessary trips &amp; alot of just "I'm going to give you a script just in case" scenarios. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-827111 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 13:03:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 827111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: hee hee.

Or I call by the third day if nothing has changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826447 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:01:16 +0000 looch 826447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take my son to the office when he has a fever of more than 102 degrees or if lower, it is more than 2 days in duration and Advil hasn't lowered it. </p> <p>Our practice has an urgent care arm that sees you as walkins, if the regular ped is out/booked up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826428 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:55:56 +0000 regberadaisy 826428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>102 is our breaking point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826423 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:55:21 +0000 Weagle 826423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call if it's been more than 48 hours, hits 102-103, it's not responding to meds, or she's unusually lethargic. She's usually bouncing off the walls even when she has a high fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826410 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:50:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 826410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: He's 10 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826401 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:48:09 +0000 runsyellowlites 826401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think the ac being out, depending on how hot it got, could cause him to he less active! P always gets really warm at night &amp; from what I've heard fevers in general tend to run higher at night. I might take his temp again if he still feels warm to the touch. Otherwise, I also refer back to this site for when the lo's have fevers! It makes me feel better!</p> <p><a href="http://www.seattlechildrens.org/medical-conditions/symptom-index/fever/" rel="nofollow">http://www.seattlechildrens.org/medical-conditions/symptom-index/fever/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826393 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:46:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 826393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how old he is, but over 100.4 requires attention in under 3 months of age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826388 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:45:28 +0000 luckypenny 826388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd take his temp when he woke up and if its gotten higher, I would call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826386 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:45:14 +0000 skibobrown 826386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to call after 48 hours, or if the fever gets above 102, or if there are any other related symptoms or weird things going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826385 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:44:49 +0000 BelugaBean 826385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always tells me this and it's what I follow. If you're concerned and it would make you feel better to call, then call. I always say that I'd rather call or take her in and it be nothing than to be concerned but assume I'm overreacting and miss something.</p> <p>I hope he feels better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-call-the-pediatrician-re-fevers#post-826368 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:42:57 +0000 lovehoneybee 826368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When would you call? </p> <p>E nearly STTN last night, which in and of itself is unusual (one wake-up at 6:30, I nursed for half an hour). He was a bit warm to the touch then, but our AC is still out (it's not super hot in his room, but we still put him to bed in just a diaper last night), and it also seemed like he was warmest where he had been pressing into the mattress in his sleep. </p> <p>He woke up again around 9:45, nursed again, but was very lethargic and just wanted to cuddle. He was still a bit warm to the touch so I took his temperature--101.3. Not very high, and I gave him a little bit of Tylenol but combined with the lethargy I'm wondering if I should call his pedi. </p> <p>He'd only been up maybe 15 minutes when he fell asleep on my shoulder so I put him back down. </p> <p>I think I'm going to wait and see how he's acting/take his temp again when he wakes up, but when would you call the pedi? </p>
