Persistant Fever - What do I do?

[Butterfly Dawn]

i would keep giving nurofen, its only a day since you got the abs, they need time to work. his temp is high, so keep a close eye on him (im sure you are) can you get the gel pads to go on his forehead? they are good- but a cool facew cloth helps too

sounds like my DS at that age, we went to four different GP's and his fever was constant for over a fortnight. the panadol helped but then it came back up, FINALLY one doctor decided to actually look in his throat and his tonsils were green! thats why he wasn't eating or drinking either, has your GP checked in his throat, alot of docs don't seem to think of it at such a young age, even though they put everything in their little mouths!

Thanks all for your suggestions. I'm goint to call the doctor in the morning if DS has a fever again over night and see what else can be done. And will definitely get his throat checked!!

My DD has the same thing going on, started Monday night! Just had her checked out and they said viral, one ear and throat bit red but not pussy. High temps, not eating, clingy bub...

Hopefully it breaks soon for both of them

Thanks everyone.

DS's temp was high again this morning (38.7'C) so called our GP who said to give him 24 more hours as no new symptoms had emerged and he was still keeping fluids down. Hopefully the antibiotics should kick in soon.

Will keep you posted!
