I need advice, just took Ivan's temperature it was 99.4 under the armpit, what should I do? take him…

A friend of mine is a baby nurse and is adamant about not taking your babies to the ER for high temps unless absolutely necessary. Id try a bath and rest first and see if it comes down.

thank you, I've never seen his temp that high, he's been a little sick like the rest of us in the house the past three days. @pbandjones

Make sure he's getting fluids and rest. Give him medicine if he seems uncomfortable. And call your doctor if it rises or stays high for an entire day or if he has any other signs of discomfort momma. And use lukewarm water for a bath

I would take him a bath, put a cool rag on his head and see how he does and definitely keep medicine in him. how old is he?

sorry just looked at your profile. make sure he's having wet diapers also. and keep him hydrated :)

I found this to be helpful 😊

@mommybump2016, he's 11 months

@pbandjones, I never dealt with a feverish baby before so I kinda freaked out.

It is scary!! But stay calm 😊 sometimes bringing babies/toddlers to ERs and having doctors put them on too many medicines so early in life can be more harmful than riding out the fever. My step sons mother takes him to the doctor for literally EVERYTHING and hes had so many antibiotics hes developed C-dif desease twice before the age of 3 and will be high risk for the rest of his life. Of course that doesn't mean to just never go lol but just make sure its 100% necessary! I hope he feels better soon!

I would just give him a bath, last time my son was sick he had a fever of 102.5 for a week. The doctors weren't really concerned. (Trust me, I took him 2 times haha) But make sure you count pee diapers, his doctor said if you count 4 in a day then youre fine.

Call his pediatrician.. Ask him/her about infants Tylenol..
