Fever in this heat
Do you do anything special if your LO has a fever during this kind of heat? DD had a very mild fever yesterday and then today it was around 100. Now it's up over 102. Aside from tylenol/motrin, is there anything else I should do? I've been trying to keep her hydrated as best I can.

My son's ped said that there's a virus going around. Last week DS missed daycare 1 1/2 days (he only goes 2) and the owner said 5 other kids called out those days too.
Hope everyone's LO's feel better soon.

Thanks ladies. I didn't have enough time for a bath but did a cool washcloth.

Yeah, I was going to ask what your ped said yesterday but I figured it was such a mild fever it would just fade in a day or two and it was almost a week since they were together. Then tonight it went over 102 when she wasn't even quite at the 6 hour mark from her last motrin so that's what really threw me. How long did it last for her? Hope she's better now!

Re: Fever in this heat
DS who is 2 just got over a fever/cold/cough and DD who is 4 just got it today. She fell asleep an hour ago and couldn't get her fever to go below 101.4 for a good hour and a half even with motrin...it finally went down to 100.
I did a little research online and it said to have them stay as cool as possible so I have the central air on in the house, she has her bedroom fan on circulating the air gently and I ptu the cool mist humidier on. I also had a cool compress on her forehead for a while.
Hopefully she sleeps comfortably through the night.
