i just googled and the Royal Childrens Hospital Melbourne fact sheet said anything above 38

[Danielle_NZ]

I think it's 38, as normal temp is 36.5 - 37.5

hi ladies,

Well she is alot better today, thanks for asking..
no more fevers so far fingers x"d!! lol

[Fleur]

Glad she's better hun

[*Sparklez*]

Oh thanks Danielle I'm just concerned my dd hasn't been well the last couple days and last night her fever hit 43 I cooled her down alot but she is now 37.8 and is very drowsy I don't know what to do..
She is all red around the eyes and when you move her around she just cries..
It's been like this for 3 days now and the dr said it's probably just a virus but she isn't coughing vomiting or anything..

Honey I would take her to the hospital or can you get a DR to do a house call.

The drowsyness sounds concerning and the prolonged fever.

[Danielle_NZ]

Doesn't sound good at all... 43 degrees can cause seizers, anything over 39 can

I'd get bub looked at again... Frantelle is right... the drowsiness is not cool

A temp that high is worrying even in an adult I hope you can get her seen soon

[*Sparklez*]

well i guess i spoke to soon, so the fevers are gone but now she has a rash all over her body..

it started out as a little red spot above her eye now its everywhere.. so i took her to the dr's and she has a virus!! a bloody virus and the dumb arse hospital couldnt tell me that?? are they normal???!!! im so angry and also she has a 2mm ulcer on the back of her throat!!
so i guess if they had of bothered looking last night they would of seen that... my poor little girl !! im jsut soooo aarrrgghh

i hope your little one is all better soon xx

Well I'm home and let's just say what a bunch of knob those people are!!
First I was asked what made me think my dd had a fever? Hello it was 39.8 when I got there!!
Then like i was meant to know this but apparently no number is too high in a fever???
Dd was seen and sent home and told to go to the gp??

??? Wow, that sounds really weird. I'm guessing they checked her ears, and throat?
It could be a virus, my DS2 was 12 mths when he had a high temp, no other symptoms & came down with gastro a few days later.. we've had a few episodes like that... I think you did right getting her checked anyway.
I know what temp my kids usually run at around 36.5), I would class anything over 37 a temp and over 38 gets a trip to the doctor.

Hope she's better soon

we've had several 41 temps with DD1 and yes they have been virus's but at 4 months old id be also taking her to the hospital
