a friend of mines bub had a high temp for a few hours he's 7weeks old. she gave him panadol now his temp has droped and he's throwing up. i suggested feeding him (again as he's thrown up) and calling her MCHN but she isnt picking up. what would i suggest she do? (i've offered to drive her to the GP...)
...any ideas??
Give the MCHN line a call ;) They always told me how to tackle things or let me know if I sould go to the docs
id be taking him straight to the dr's if he has a high temp at that age
My DS had a temp at 7 weeks too and I went to the hosp. I went to Doc's first and they couldn't find anything obvious, so I went to hosp. Turns out it was a UTI And we stayed in hosp for three nights. I went with my instinct and am glad. Because bub is so young they will see him straight away. xo
I tend to agree, I'd take him to the GP at that age. They can get dehydrated fast.
Agreed- GP, especially if there is vomiting as well.
high temps scare me. It can lead to all sorts of probs (knock on wood).
Straight to the GP and/or emergency room.
