HELP, I don't know what to do
So my DS is sick again. Since monday afternoon. He had a 102.6. Since then he has been averaging at 103 when not given motrin every 6 hours. And as i am sure most of you know what a baby is like with a high fever
Been to the Ped 2xs already, checked his ears, NO EAR INFECTION. A first!
Problem is, nobody seems to know WHAT is wrong. Did a urine, it was fine. Strep..negative.
We went for bloodwork today but won't get that back till who knows when. And now his nose is stuffed up and can't breathe. I hold him pretty much all night so he will sleep.
I don't know how to stop these fevers.

Re: HELP, I don't know what to do
Sounds like a virus Hang in there, virus's take 72 hours to work themselves out they stink!!!
My PEd always tells me motrin/tylenol don't break fevers they just keep it lower than it would be without it and keep baby somewhat comfy.
I know how you feel, we're on week 2 of virus and both my girls are sick at the same time.

yea that is what my ped said too 
But he still suffers that last hour before i can give motrin. Tylenol doesn't do a thing for him
WEEK 2 
what happened to 72 hours 
I can't take another week of this

yes i feel like he gets a lot of fevers too. Normally they are ear infection related.
but the Ped had us do blood work to make sure his body is making enough antibodies as well as a normal CBC
I wasn't comfortable how the ped was handling it at first. Since i thought it was a ear infection. But when we brought him back the second time we saw a covering ped since mine isn't in on tuedays. She said the same thing. 
And a friends mom is a ped as well and she asked her for me. She is saying the same thing. That it lasts somewhere up to 3-4 days. Which at this point i am hoping is true

My niece had 104.6 the other day and the ER had cooling blankets on her...so Im not sure Iw ould wait till it was that high....but Im sure you know and can judge yourself how comfortable you are.
Sorry I can offer any other advice, but to hang in there.
