41 degree temp..

[2CheekyMonkeys]

dd1 once had a temp of 42 and they drs and nurses at the ER didnt seem to be too worried. from memory it was a viral thing too so didnt even get any antibiotics. glad your dd doesnt have anything too serious causing the temp.

Oh you poor loves! DS has also had scarily high temps like that with viral illnesses (remember 18 months ago, when he was sick with a virus every month for 6 months, with croup every time???). It's awful, but there isn't alot you can do, other than to try and keep the temp down.

I hope S is better soon, and that you all get a rest!!!!!!!! You know how close I am, so please call out if there's anything I can do (I'm feeling better now, I promise!!!).

You did the right thing. A 41 degree temperature is pretty high. The temperatue itself won't hurt her, but it is worth checking out what might be causing it.
