My poor little munchkin has had a pretty high (102°-103°) fever since yesterday afternoon. The nurse at her pediatrician’s office agrees with my guess that it could be roseola, although we won’t know for sure until a couple days from now if she breaks out in a rash.
We’ve been watching TV all morning. Mostly because I was up half the night with her and we’re both exhausted. I have to find a way to keep her temperature under control a little better overnight tonight. The poor baby woke up hot and uncomfortable, a whole hour before I could give her more Motrin. As much as I hate being sick myself, I really hate having to watch Carrie being sick.
I hope she gets well soon!
Isn’t it just miserable when our little ones get sick? Hope Carrie feels better soon.
About her fever…I didn’t know until my son had his last high fever and his pediatrician informed us that they can have Tylenol and Motrin at the same time if you have trouble getting their fever to go down. Just make sure you follow the recommended dosage for each one and I’ve found it easiest to jot down what time I give each one so there is no confusion on when to redose with which medicine.
