Fever. Posted: 11-02-06 17:41pm
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 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

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.

iheard that too....My mom did that with my
little sister. It worked
wonderful
though keep in mind motrin is for babies 6
months and older.

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
