Fever

Well, the boys have their 1st real fever lucky me at the same time :angry: I can get it to come down with tylenol but then it goes back up. They have serious runny noses and a cough too. They are eating fine and nap more than usual but still are happy and play. They were in for their 9 month on Wed. but were fine then. Should I take them in tomorrow or talk to the nurse? Help, I'm s new at all of this!!!

Thanks guys!

 

Is there a nurse line/after hours line that you can call? Or put a call into the clinic to see if they would want you in. *I* would say just watch their temps and make sure it doesn't get too high. :hug: I hope they are better soon!

 

I agree with Jackie, I would call the pedi as soon as you can. You are doing the best thing, treating it with Tylenol. Some other stuff that might help is using a cool mist humidifier, saline drops and nasal aspirator. You can also try baby rub on the chest and feet to help with congestion. I hope your little ones feel better soon!

Me three. This is great advice. I hope they feel better soon :hug:.

 

Thanks guys! I've been doing the humidifier and the aspirator probably not as much as I should with the aspirator because they hate it! I'm going to call the nurse tomorrow and see what she thinks! Their sleeping in their own beds right now and not with me and my husband so this is a good sign!

 

Hope they are feeling better today. :hug:

 

Well not so good news. Zack has an ear infection and Will has bronchilitis (sp) she said it could into a strain of RSV if it would get worse. He had a breathing treatment but it didn't work. So now we wait. I'm going to try and keep him happy and comfortable. Thanks for thinking about us!!!!
