Need a cry - fever (bit of a vent)

[~clover~]

Thanks
Well he's been sleeping, with alot of tossing & turning & grizzling for nearly an hour now.
I've put him back to sleep once & DD1 went it & got him back once too
Hopefully he feels a bit better when he wakes up & mum gets here with the nurofen soon!

Hope Jesse feels better and the girls calm down. Have you tried calling 13 HEALTH?

No, I've actually never heard of it!
He's awake & screaming at me again. He won't take water from a bottle. I''ll try a cup
His nappies are low, so I gotta get more into him

I personally found that DS was better with nurofen for this illness, it made him more settled than the panadol. The Dr said he had a red throat, so maybe the anti-inflam properties of the nurofen were better for my DS. I was not sure about the overlaping panadol and nurofen, but for two doses, I did it. But whatever you feel comfortable with.
And if you cant get his temp down, call the DR. xo

Last time DD had a temp like that the Dr had me give 1/2 dose panadol & 1/2 nurofen at the same time and then every 4 hrs after...temp came down after 2nd dosing and she was calmer too...Hope your DS is feeling better soon...would he have ice or frozen fruit.
