What would you do?

We came home from a birthday party yesterday late afternoon and DS told me he was cold [we live in Texas, so it was not cold! Lol]. He felt warm so when we came home I took his temp and it was 102. He was acting a little tired but he played hard so I wasn't worried. He ate dinner, I put him to bed around 7 with Tylenol. Checked his temp around 9 and it was 103. Gave Motrin this time and he went back to sleep. He woke up around 1 am and it was back up to 103 again so I gave Tylenol and brought him in bed with me. He was wide awake and acting totally normal! He finally fell asleep and woke up about 6 with a 103 again. In between medicines I can get it down to about 101 sometimes 100. He's eating, drinking, wetting totally normal. But what concerns me is there was a note on his door at daycare that he was exposed to strep throat. Wouldn't he be miserable?! I know I was when I had it when I was around 7. If he's not better [temp wise] around lunch we were going to take him to ER. Should I chance it and make an appt for tomorrow morning or just bring into ER?

  • Have you tried doing the motrin/tylenol every two hours? 

    But I would just wait to get ahold of the pedi today.  I hope he's feeling better!

  • I would also wait until today to call the pedi, but do whatever makes you feel comfortable! Poor little guy, hope he feels better soon!

  • Thanks ladies! He is currently running around the house and feeling all better! Dr tested for strep just in case but it was negative. Glad I didn't take him into ER!
