At what temperature would you talk your 3 year old to the doc?
@bunsinmyoven @dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts @scream.queen @garay88 hey so I took her to the doc and they sai ssd's she was fine but she didnt get better so I brought her back today and saw a different doctor and abe has a double ear infection :(
@garay88 thata what k thought to but she didnt touch her ears at all
That sucks. When you first brought her in she could have not had one but because of all the drainage and congestion etc it could have caused one. My son battled with ear infections for about a year until he had tubes placed. They always gave him such a hard time. A lot of times he didn’t pull at his ear or anything, he would randomly get a high fever. Did they give her oral antibiotics or ear drops?
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts yes tbats what the doc said to. And yes bcuz she was puking and fever wont go down they gave her 10day of amoxicillin
And she slept till 930am this moring and has never done that before
@ltee @bunsinmyoven @hakunamafuckitall
Hey guy wynter is still coughing like crazy, she is pale but her fever is down a little but is worse then yesterday she is lethargic and hot to touch still should I take her to the doc?
@bunsinmyoven thank you for asking ahead still sicky but feeling a little better I think got her some ibuprofen and tylenol sleeping it off nowb
Sounds like she’s doing better and as others have said likely just battling a virus. Tylenol and ibuprofen may drop temps by a degree or two but don’t be concerned if they don’t bring it back to normal. If she’s not uncomfortable, I’d let the fever do it’s job as it’s even been thought that by not treating a fever the duration of illness may be a bit shorter.
Our pediatrician and nurse says that anything under 103 is a therapeutic fever. Meaning it’s doing its job. If it’s over that OR if she’s super sluggish not acting normal, medicate. If it’s over 103 and doesn’t come down after 30/60mins w meds and light clothing, she should be seen. Anything like stiffness of neck w fever should also be addressed ASAP.
Thank you I got it dont to 99.3 she is walking around in just underwear she seems a little better now
@hakunamafuckitall, that’s great I’m glad to hear. Even if the temp drops a couple points with a high fever .5 is a good enough drop
I’ve been told by our former pediatrician that it’s best to judge more by how they are acting than the degree of fever
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts thank you she has never really been sick before so it freaks me out
@hakunamafuckitall, i definitely understand. Make her as comfy as you can and if you aren’t comfortable with how she is acting for feeling, give her dr a ring. I hope she feels better soon.
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts thank you I been checking her temp like every hour
@garay88 @briananicole okay its 101.2 now I gave her meds she coughing bad though
Has it went down at all with tylenol/motrin?
@hakunamafuckitall, Try a warm bath as well.
