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

take him to the er, give him a luke warm bath, or just keep an eye on it? he has some fever reducer at five so I can't give him anymore until 10 or 11

11

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.

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!

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

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?

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

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.

Will your Mom be in the delivery room?

Will your Mom be in the delivery room? My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.

Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄

Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄 Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, tonight he asked for $20 incase his boss didn't give it to him. So I gave him my card not even thinking because I had kids running around me. I asked if he could pick up a few things that were out of and told him he could use my card if he has too. And I even told him not to get the expensive brands or anything m generic is fine. So he does. But when he does he decides to go Easter shopping for the kids. (Not sure if he used to my card or not) but if he did, I'd be even more pissed. He knows I have bills to pay on top of giving my son's school money that I owe them. He goes to a private school and I haven't paid in 5 months. It's towards the end of school now so I need to pay it. He knows this month I am extremely tight because of the school, im already in debt and my credit score sucks. I have been trying not to get in more debt and actually fix my credit. I'm so frustrated. It's like we have different priorities and different ideas on this. I feel like I'm completely drowning!!
