My poor sick baby.

[Seekrit]

Cobey's unwell. :(

He started with a cold yesterday, nothing major, visited veve and her boys, played with lukaelmo's boys as well, was giggling and not being miserable... then all of a sudden had a very very very hot forehead and fell asleep while I was cuddling him. Came home, checked temp - 39.1
Panadol, cuddles, he ate a fruit stick and happily went to bed.

Woke fine today, not hot, went to grandma's while I went to work.. I was told that the same thing happened - fine, playing... then suddenly very hot. Panadoled and bedded there as well, he woke 'fine' just a bit whingie and out of sorts.

My SIL called me at around 3 to ask me if I had panadol at home because he was fine when they put him in the car, but 20 minutes later he's dopey and burning again... came home, he wouldn't let me take his temp but he was really hot and very cranky... panadol... (god I hate giving him so much...) he fell asleep in the lounge and flopped around in the bedroom when I moved him into my room, he's now lying on the couch eating cheese, watching Elmo (I'm sitting on his pooh bear arm chair on my laptop.....)

Anyway, I'm finding this sudden fever onset weird... he has a bit of a cough but I think it's nasal drip related. I was knocked out for 3 days over the w/e with a bad head cold, but had no fevers as a result.. I think he's also teething (2 year molars)
Is it normal to have such a sudden "fine fine fine fever" thing?

[Kattus]

:hugs::hugs:hugs to you and your little man!

Im not sure if thats normal or not when they get there 2 year molars but if you are worried then maybe call the nurses hotline? Poor little bub :(

Hope things get better soon

[punkbaby]

Your poor little man, does the panadol knock his temp? I hate using the stuff too but times like these you have too, i was just thinking maybe nurofen to give it a kick if you use it i know that when ds has tonsilitis i use the both as it seems to get that temp down which makes it better for him, more so that his comfortable than anything.

Maybe its a bug, funny how kids can come down so quick and the next day act like nothing has happened. I agree with kattus though if you feel his not well it doesnt hurt to ring the nurses on call or get him checked out.

Hope he gets better soon and its just a bug or the flu and he bounces back :hugs:

This is exactly what we are going through at the moment.

The docs can't pinpoint in to anything - just keeps getting these high temps usually in the afternoon.

:(

[M O P]

:hugs:

Oh it's ordinary isn't it? So did they work out what was wrong?

[Seekrit]

thanks :) the panadol has been knocking the fever and he's been fine after about an hour... you can TELL that he's unwell but he's making jokes and playing games... however happily climbing onto his bed (so unlike him)

Ergh, I can't miss work tomorrow but I think I'm going to have to... it's a daycare day......

[poshBecks]

This happened to both of mine not long before christmas. They were fine until the panadol wore of. They couldn't find anything wrong with Connor. It lasted about 4 days. But Ella had an ear infection.

It is recommended that if they are running a fever like that for more than 48 hours they need to see a doc. So if he is the same tomorow I would take him to the doctor.

:hugs:

[*Chels*]

Hope he feels better soon:hugs:
Whenever Riley is sick,he usually only has a temp at night.Its weird.Also scary,I always sleep with him so I can monitor him thru the night.

[Seekrit]

He also has a diabolical nappy rash. Poos are fine, but his bum is not. :( Poor bubba screamed at me the other day saying "Sore sore sore" while I wiped him... never ever has he had a rash that bothered him... ever :(

Becky - thanks, I'll deffo take him to the doctor if it keeps up

[Mummaholic]

Same thing here! Poor little men :(

[justmum]

Oh hang on, it isn't "man flu" is it?

[Mummaholic]

No I just meant both our sons are sick...poor them.

[justmum]

Yeah I know - I was kidding. My DS has it too which is why I wondered if it's a Y chromosome thing.....

[Seekrit]

Oh hang on, it isn't "man flu" is it?
:laughing: learning early.

I guess there's some super-virus being spread via bubhub :p

[justmum]

World first - computer virus spreads to humans?

Seriously thought this is a scary one because we can't pin pint any actual symptoms bsides afternoon and night fever, slight runny nose, generally off colour and not himself. No red throat or ears, no vomiting.

When you described Cobey being really happy for an hour after Panadol and then still trying but clearly being unwell, it was like you were in my house observing DS.

[Seekrit]

and again. I had to take today off (ultimate slacker as it's the last day before a week of holidays :laughing:) and he was fine, but a bit warm - but nothing was bothering him... then he slept for an hour and a half woke up burning and very very whingie. He lay about on my bed with me for an hour, I gave him nurofen (decided to try something other than panadol) then he came out to watch some Elmo... (groan) and has perked up and it asking for heaps of things to eat.

Drs appointment tomorrow in the morning.. no doubt it'll be a mystery virus...

[Seekrit]

Ear Infection. His chest is clear (hooray, that's the one thing I'm panicky about) and if he clears up over the weekend bring him back on Monday morning...
