Picked Paige up tonight and you can see thru her eyes that she is sick. She has a fever of 100.4 - her first EVER! I am not sure what to do with her. She is crying when down crying when up! ANY SUGGESTIONS?! TIA!
I don't give any meds until the temp is higher.. call your pedi to see at what point. A fever is a body's natural way to kill a virus/bacteria. Give her lots of hugs and kisses and keep her hydrated.
The website askdrsears.com has a good section on when to panic with a fever..
Thanks for the advice. I know 100.4 is low. We never sent kids home from daycare unless it was higher than 101. I was just worried because this is the first "fever" she had. HOWEVER, I think I cured most of it! I FED HER....lol. She seems to be a lot better now that I got tylenol in her and fed her. She is actually playing - OOPS make that crying now....lol. She has had gas and is burping a lot. I thought she was going to throw up a minute ago! YIKES!
