So yesterday Olivia woke up from her morning nap with a fever of 102.4.. Yikes! So, I gave her some Ibuprofen and teething tablets (since she has been shooting teeth out since last week)! After that didn't work I gave her a cool bath, it seemed to do the trick. After the bath she had a bottle and took an hour and a half nap :)
Though when she woke from said nap, her fever was back to over 101.4 :(
I gave her more medicine (since the last dose was long worn off), and the temp never seemed to go below 100.4.. this went on all night long! She slept from about midnight til 2:30am, then she went back to sleep at 5:30, then woke up at 7am! Still feverish (101.3), I called the doctor and made an appointment. We saw the Doc. and he said her throat looked red (no bumps!) But did a STREP TEST anyway.. it came back negative!! So, back to not really knowing what it could be?
If she is still having fevers tomorrow morning, I will take her back again for more tests!
How do you get an 8 month old with a really bad sore throat to eat?
