Going back to the doctor today at 3pm for a sick visit. Macy got her second flu shot yesterday and after her afternoon nap she was HOT! My hands were sweating holding her. I called the nurse and she said tylenol and to get Macy moving around to regulate her temperature and to keep doing it. Her temp finally started to settle down to 101. Then at 1:30am she woke up crying and HOT again. Her temp again was 104 and I continue to give her tylenol. This morning it was 103. The tylenol works for a couple of hours and then she spikes up again. She doesn't want to be put down, wants to be held all morning and then falls asleep while I'm holding her. Macy has already taken 3 naps before noon. You can see it in her eyes she's not feeling well. I'm hoping it's nothing serious but this high temp is freaking me out!
Carter had a bug a couple months ago and all he did was want to be held and was so mopey He also had 104.5. I did tylenol and it broke it. They say you can also alternate between tylenol/motrin if that doesnt help. Carter was ok after a couple days. Just wanted to let you know - but def keep docs in loop!
I hate to hear poor Macy is sick...those high fevers are scary. Last high fever we had, we did tylenol and then motrin every 3 hours - she would get tylenol, 3 hours later motrin, 3 hours later Tylenol....you get it..... at our doctors advice. You can always call the CHOA nurse line for reassurance or advice......also, I call my doctor whenever I think "hmmm should I call" even after a visit just to be safe. Hoping her fever breaks soon! When Sarah gets a fever she is extra cuddly which I hate her being sick, but I do love those cuddles.
