Day 3 of fever???
Anyone's LO have a virus that only a fever is the symptom? We are on day 3 of a fever 102/103, bringing him to the pedi later today, just wondering if this is a common virus. My d/c provider has me paranoid about lyme disease, because one of the other kid's mothers has found 2 ticks on him in the last month. My LO has had no rash or anything else, but man is he miserable when the fever heightens!

Re: Day 3 of fever???
There are several viruses where the only symptom is a fever. Roseola being one of the most common. DD had it when she was just over a year, and we're pretty sure DS had it when he was 9 months. With DD her fever was 102-103 for 3-4 days and when the fever broke she developed the tell tale rash. The rash doesn't bother them and is usually gone within a few days.
I think it is always good to have the pediatrician check it out though if the fever lasts 3 days or more. Hope he feels better soon!
We're on the 3rd day of fever over 101 here, too. This morning I checked him and it was 103.4 - last night was over 102.
He was at the pedi Monday and no ear infection, red inflamed throat but not strep, and a runny nose. Doctor said it's just a virus and nothing we can do but wait it out. I'm going to call when the office opens today to ask how long I should let the fever go before I bring him back.
