Brayden is sick again, he is running a 103.4 fever. We took him to the doctor and they said he has a throat virus, and he has blisters in his throat Sad does anyone know any good ways to soothe the fever and make it go down a little? I have been giving him tylenol since yesterday and the dose limit is 5 times in 24 hours so I can't give him anymore tylenol. His cheeks are really red and he keeps crying, not making noises crying but tears wont stop coming down his face. I feel so bad for him, any help is appreciated, hes feelin like total poops Sad

Oh my god the poor darling! Its awful seeing kids ill. I don't know if you have them over there but over here we have a thing called 'kool and soothe' strips which are sticky strips that you can put on their head to reduce temperature. It can be used for kids.

You can stagger baby tylenol with baby motrin. Baby motrin worked better for my daughter.

He is doing better today I think.

He's actually eating now...I took him to arby's today and he had some curly fries and arby melt lol. He still feels bad but its way better than yesterday.

I was in tears all day, because if his temp. Gets too high he could have seizures, and he was breathing really funny everytime his temp got up in the 103.4's it scared me so bad, but the doctor said it was normal with the bug he has. I wish you guys could see the blisters in his throat! Some of them were so big, it was awful.

That motrin is the sh*t!!!!!!!!

Works awesome Laughing
