Experienced mom's, 101 degree fever.

[mommy_again23]

My 18month old temperature has been 101° since 5pm yesterday. He has no other symptoms, just loss of appetite, I don't know what to do! He just wants to lay around. I have him in just his diaper and I'm giving him fever reducer every 4/5hrs and it still hasn't gone down. Help, anybody!?

In the meant time a bath with not warm but not to cold water leave him in just a diaper and give him water they told me before to give my son pedialight to help it's like flavored water

Put him in the bath not warm tho do it like alil cold but to were he is comfortable that should help a lil even if he crys and maybe wet clothes on him after but I would seriously take him in and raise Hell they have to be able to do something prescribe him something maybe stronger.

My daughter was like that about a month agoand her doctor couldnt find anything wrong with her, and the ER wont do anything unless it hits 104 alls they do is give mortin. Give his doctor a call again and let them know.

[AnxiousMommy01]

take him to the doc!!!! its been too long and its too high. baby can easily go into a coma if fever to high.. it almost happened to me before i got pregnant and im not even a baby luckily i got to the dr in time.

Teething is what my mom and granny said, but he hadn't acted this way with any of his other teeth, and no drooling or biting. Idk, im at a loss!

[mommy_again23]

He just had a fever last week or two and the doctor prescribed him allergy medicine?? AAnd everyone is saying they won't do anything for less than 102° . What else would the doctor be able to do? Any thing I can do at home in the mean time to bring it down?

Or maybe he's teething??

Id take him in

If it hasn't gone down you should really take him in a fever is sign of infection maybe he needs antibiotics if he is dehydrated from not eating our drinking they will give him iv fluid also.
