high fever in 7mo

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
my normally healthy, happy little man has been discernibly warm for 24 hours. he woke up uncomfortable and hot at 3:30am last night, was irritable for over an hour until he finally succumbed back to sleep. this morning he seemed fine until i took his temp after nap and it was over 103. stayed 102-103 all evening. he's eating/pooping/nursing/wetting and isn't overly lethargic, just a little fractious and miserable with an extra nap and throbbing temples.

i spoke to his ped this afternoon and they'll want to see him in the am if he's still hot. i'm stressing about it. any wise mamas with tips/encouragement/etc would be super appreciated.

Nurse lots to keep him hydrated. At 102-103 I'd give him Tylenol to ease the discomfort and bring the fever down a bit. We just went through this twice in 3 weeks, first Roseola (nothing but the temp, then a rash two days later) then a mild flu bug. Good luck, it's no fun!
