Question 1

Accepted Answer

ER/Ped/UC: Give the baby 1 tsp of acetaminophen per 20 pounds of body weight and take the baby to an ER, pediatrician or urgent care center. A fever of 105 in that young a child needs to be evaluated.

Question 2

my 5 year old son had a high fever 104 this past saturday and a cough. fever came down on wed. now he is very weak and sleepy, no appetite either. ?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Any other symptoms? Headach, wheezing, croupy cough, vomiting, sore throat, diarrhea, rash (if so, where on the body, what kind?, how long did it last?), any breathing problem? Body ache? Joint pain? Any medications given? Anybody else in the family or in his school sick? These information would help.

Question 3

my almost 3year old daughter has recurring high fever (104.5) every few weeks or so with no other symtopms., last for 4-7 days. dr has no answer?

Accepted Answer

Genetic?: A host of genetic semi-diseases, from cyclic neutropenia to familial mediterranean fever, can do this.  I would consider asking for specialist referral.  Your child is fortunate to have a parent who is so devoted as to seek advice from strangers.  Good luck.

Question 4

how to easily get a fever/high fever just in one night?

Accepted Answer

Common: One can get a fever in minutes once they are ill.

Question 5

8 yr old with fever 104.3  had abnormal neutrophils 86.9%, neutrophils absolute 5.7 and lymphocytes 9.4%, lymphocytes what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Child with Fever: Having part of the labs and no history other than fever it is impossible for us to tell you anything. You need to ask the Physician who is caring for your child and has ordered these labs to interpret them for you.  Only with a complete clinical picture, exam and the complete labs could I give you an educated answer.  I don't even know the white blood cell count.

Question 6

13 month old daughter has fever 104.2, comes down with motrin for about 2hrs. son was sick yesterday, dr said its a virus. take her to er? or wait?

Accepted Answer

Temp is high: She should go to the er with a temperature of 104.2.  It might be a different thing and you would be safer to know.

Question 7

my 2.8 yr old - runny nose for 2 weeks-now cough-- high fever --104 rectal-- sound like strep? ear tubes in about a month ago--ate fine yesterday play

Accepted Answer

Needs exam of chest+: Runny nose and congestion for 2 weeks THEN followed by high fever is a good story for a lung infection.  There are other causes of fever which should be evaluated as well.  Recommend you see a physician in-person today for evaluation!

Question 8

some one in my family is suffering from fever between. 99 to 103.  once or twice. a day. also vomiting and rashes on skin when fever. high wbc?

Accepted Answer

Fever: They need to see a doctor as soon as possible, as they may get dehydrated fast with continuous vomiting and fever.

Question 9

what is considered high fever on a one year old?

Accepted Answer

100.4 F = 38 C: Check out http://www.Aafp.Org/afp/2007/0615/p1805.Html. We tolerate higher temperatures in older children who don't appear "toxic". But younger children bear more involved evaluation since their immune systems aren't mature & they haven't received complete set of vaccinations. However, even healthy appearing children w/102.2 f = 39 c need further evaluation. Btw these temperatures are rectal.

Question 10

if my one year old has a fever from a virus....what do i do....what kind of medicine do she need?

Accepted Answer

nothing specific: The primary focus while an infant has fever is maintaining fluid balance.Fever is a natural way the body slows the viral growth and reproduction. As long as baby can take fluids well enough to wet diapers every 6 hours, no additional meds are required.If baby seems too tired or uncomfortable to drink, fever meds like Acetaminophen are helpful.
