If you take a temp under the arm do you add 0.5 or take off 0.5 degrees??? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Sweet, I took him to the dr anyway. His temp under the arm was 39.9 and when we got to the MTC here in the ear it was 40.8. Had an hour in a tempid bath and a good dose of pamol and brufen and antibiotics as he has an ear infection. The dr had to take a heap of wax out of his ear canal first to see and the drum had burst They rang OCS to get Nigel there to help me as I needed to get Andrew, so they brought him in ASAP, and now I have him at home. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
