 Topic: Temperatures... What to do...
Posted: 26 June 2008 at 8:26pm |
|
Rhyley woke from his afternoon sleep with a very high temp (boardering 40) Pamol brought it down to 37 after 3/4 hours... he ate a little food and was cuddly but happy in himself (he likes cuddles anyhow) i have just put him to bed (as kept him up a little late to make sure he was ok) well he felt a bit hot and took his temp and its on the rise again.. its not been 3 hours since I gave him the last lot of pamol - do you think i should give him somemore??
We don't have a after care Dr so can't take him there and apart from the temp I cant seem to find anything wrong with him (no cold etc...)

I'd say wait till the 4 hours is up, you can give Brufen now tho if need be to help control the temp. They can have Pamol 4 hourly and Brufen 6 hourly, that's what they do for fever in hospital.
Bugger that you can't take him to the doc tho, coz I usually have a policy of taking mine if their temp hits 39.
Maybe call healthline?

Did you try giving him a warm bath to cool him down too? Checked for rashes?
I'd be inclined to call Healthline asap and see what a nurse says.

I wouldn't worry too much since he's not showing any other symptoms. Make sure you remember to keep his fluids up. Give him another dose of pamol at the 4hr mark and then to bed. I wouldn't be too surprised if the symptoms show up tomorrow.

No the house isn't too hot (lol I wish :-)
I don';t have any Brufen 
Hes in bed, I will keep checking on him and his temp.
If he gets up to 38 again (currently 37.6) I will get him out of bed... I have purposely left him oil heater off so hopefully a cooler room keeps the temp at bay. I always worry when my babies have a high temp with no other symptoms. Josh and Brooke as babies had convolsions (sp??)
Yeah it sux not having a on duty dr - if we wanted to take him we would have to travel half hour away to A and e.
Might try helpline....
Thanks

Yeah, I worry more about temps with NO symptoms than if they have symptoms coz at least then you know what you are dealing with.

well actually it must of been a false reading as just double checked and it was 38.4 (mustn't of had it in his ear far enough/right) so I have given him some pamol (almost 4 hours since)
I can see I am not going to sleep good tonight with worry

 We've had the random temperatures with no other symptoms before and although worrying, quite often the next day she'll wake up happy and fine again. They can be the start of a bug though, hope he is just fighting off something without it developing into something else!

With both my girls- high temps with no other symptoms were urine infections, do boys get them?
Hope the night goes ok!

UPDATE::
Rhyley had a temp all night so i have not had a lot of sleep.  
Took him to the Dr's and he has a inflamed infected throat and is now on Antibiotics. His temp is still high (not as high as 40 now though) so giving the pamol along with the AB's.
Thanks for all your support on here - I knew I would get it here

Temperatures... What to do...
