We survived and a WWYD?

DD had a fever 102 or higher alll night. She did really well with it and we alternated the medicines. Now she is staying around 100 and will get more tylenol at 9:30 so I am hopeful today will be much better. 

We still don't know why she got the fever though, the doctor couldn't find anything when I brought her in yesterday. Would you call/try to bring her back in or just assume it's going away anyway so it must be OK?

If its going down, and the doc already ruled out the major things, then I don't see a point to going back.

 

DD has a fever now but its managable so we haven't even called the pedi. If it continues or spikes we will.

ditto pp.  It is hard feeling so helpless, but there isn't much more you can do.  It is probably a virus and just needs to run its course.

Not if they ruled out everything already.  the best thing to do is keep the baby comfortable.

If it's coming down, I wouldn't take her back in. Last time DS had a high fever, the doc couldn't find any reason for it. So we treated the fever until it was gone.

DS just had the same thing.  I called the nurse and she said to wait.  If the fever lasted 3 days then take in or if it could not be reduced by meds.  She also said if symptoms changed then take him in.  I ended up taking him in b/c he started to not sleep through the night and refused to eat solids.  Come to find out he had a virus and as the virus was going away he started to get an ear infection.  HTH
