My daughter started with a high temp yesterday she didnt have a complaint with the exception that her knee hurt, we have been giving her Tylenol and motrin for the high fever, it got as high as 103, i have a doctors appt tomorrow for her but im just worried because she has had no complaints today she tells me nothing hurts. we have been giving her plenty of fluids and she is eating normally still very playful, she does seem a little more tired the usual but im just puzzled on what could be going on??? i have a get very nerous when she is sick i hate feeling help less and i dont know what to do if anyone has any suggestions i would love to here them, its truly breaking my heart the fact i dont know whats to do for her..thanks
Both of my kids had the same thing. It lasted for a few days for both of them. Day #4 they woke up fine.
Its a weird fever virus that is going around. Push fluids, rest, and use the meds as needed to keep them comfortable. They will be just fine.
I wouldn't worry too much about it unless other syptoms come up (cough, ears...etc) It is most likely just viral and will go away within 3-4 days. keep up with the fluids and good luck!
sounds viral,
but if she seems fine then she is
just keep feeding her, and giving her those fluids to help her cool down

Keep an eye on her temp - 105 you should go to the ER. Keep alternating tylenol and motrin every four hours and try giving her a cool bath. If she seems normal it is most likely viral and fluids are the best thing for her. Viruses typically take a couple days to pass.
Hang in there Momma - trust your instincts and take her in to the ER if you think she is not ok.
When I asked my ped what's a high fever for my 1 & 3 yr olds, my ped just told me that he wants to hear from me at 105-106 degrees if it's just a fever. If there are other syptoms or a huge personality change, then that's another issue.
