so i took the peanut to the doctors, when i called them they said she needed to be seen!! anyways, we got there and she had basically been napping all day and barely eatting or drinking... we had the same nurse that was there for her one year check up so she screamed the whole time while she tried to take her tempture... it was 102.8 when they got it!! so they gave her tylenol and said 2 ml that i was giving wasnt enough but it knocks her out so why would i give her more!?!?!?
well the doctor came in her room (not her normal pediatrian bt still very nice), anyways he said that her throat was very red!! she does have the bug that is going around, a bug that every kid gets before they are two... but atleast its not as bad as it usually is this season the fevers are milder... the reason her fever is so high is cause of her shots, so i was right the shots were making it worse so she is having a mild reaction and it might turn into a rash but not to be worried...
it sucks there is nothing i can do for her except let her hang out in a diaper (which she finally stopped trying to take off!) and give tylenol but only 4 times a day every 4 hours, she can also have motrin but we dont have any and i dont really want a completely drugged up kid!!
well she is sleeping for now hopefully she can sleep thru the night and tomorrow she will drink and eat a little more...
cross your fingers for us!!
You could try one of the baby teething rings that you freeze. I don't know if she is very tolerant of cold but my little brother used to let it rest on him a little bit and it seemed to make him feel better.
ReplyDeletethanks... ya I would love it if she would use a teether but she hates them so we have been lettig her have a pacifer all day long (usually its just at naps/bedtime)... 2 of her molars came in so now we are up to 4 on top and 6 on the bottom!!
