My 12 mo DD has been running a fever since last night - ranging from about 100.5-102.5. She's teething and a little tired/cranky, but other than the fever has no symptoms of illness. Diapers and appetite are normal and she is drinking a lot of water. At first I chalked it up to teething, but temps in the 102s seem quite high for teething.
So - I should just keep her home tomorrow, right? Anyone experienced this?

DS had a higher than 102 temperature for a few days, then he broke out in a rash. Roseola!
I don't send my kids to daycare, so not sure what the fever rules are.
Hope it breaks soon though!

I called the nurse line for DD's temperature once and she said that as long as she was acting normal she was ok. I wouldn't take your LO to daycare tomorrow, but I wouldn't be too worried either

LO also had a high fever for about 2 days when she was 12 months and was otherwise fine (though slept a lot more). We never ended up taking her into the doctor, but switched to motrin after a day and that seemed to help it break a lot. I would keep her home from daycare, though.

I've called the nurse a couple of times to ask about fever, and they have always told me that the number doesn't matter so much as the temperament. If they have a 99 fever, but seem miserable, they need to come in. If they have a 102 but seem fine, then just keep an eye on them. That's just my ped's advice, though.

No other symptoms for us was roseola but the doctor tested her for UTI too. I would keep her home if I were you.

Um this is DD right now!!! All of a sudden I noticed she was burning and her temp was 101.3. She has been lethargic but appetite and diapers and mood are all relatively normal. Maybe a little bug? I would keep DD home though -- that is a pretty high fever.
@HLK208: i'm wondering about a UTI because she really fought me washing down there during her bath the past 2 nights.

DD is like this right now! Fever, seemed lethargic, but refuses to sleep. All she wants to do is play!
