DD has woken with a temp around 40 this morning. Have given nurofen again. Am I right in thinking that when they have a fever for 48 hours you need to see a Dr?! I am more than happy to take her but I know she will have the same thing as DS. She had maybe 50mls of a bottle about half an hour ago and now I am just trying to bring her temp down with a cool face washer and have dressed her down a bit. The only reason why I am wondering about taking her to the Drs is, is because yesterday when the Nurofen kicked in she was off running around and playing. Maybe I just wait and see what happens when it kicks in?!
Enchanted, I would be going to see Doc first thing today when they open or even a hospital if DD temp is still at 40. Especially since they are both sick, they may have the same thing, but spots have not appeared on DD yet. I would get second opinion anyway on DS. Do the spots look like an allergy?
Oh hugs to everyone with sick bubbas!! DD has been like this all week, she has a middle ear infection and molars coming through..... so I feel your pain, hope they are better soon....
We took DD to the Drs and were told to just keep doing what we're doing. She has slept most of the day and is finally eating and drinking a bit. So lethargic though and she is so pale and looks terrible Quite a few young kids around here have the same thing, not fun! Go away germs and bring on the sunshine!
DS had his temp and spots Thursday, still has spots today but had been fading. We went out today, get home and bath the kids. DS sits on the couch and becomes really hot really quickly. Within half an hour his temp had reached 39.1 after having no temp since Thursday arvo. He was quite flat today but we thought he was just tired.
Why has his temp gone up again after a couple of days without one?! (We haven't given him panadol or nurofen since Thursday night)
