My poor baby has her first fever

Moms View Message Board: Parenting Discussion: Archive January-June 2005: My poor baby has her first fever

Rylee had a fever this morning. It was 101.2. That was at 7:45. At 9:45 it was 100.5. It is slowly going down. I know that it is from her shots yesterday. She has NEVER gotten a fever before. Not even after her shots in the past. I was surprised when she had one this morning. I called her ped. to make sure that it was ok, and he said yes. I gave her Tylenol and he said that if it goes up to 103.0, then to bring her in. I hope that she feels better soon.

Awww... poor baby. But that's amazing that she hasn't had a fever yet! I hope her fever goes down!

I'm so sorry that she has a fever from those darn shots. Don't worry if her fever goes up a little late this afternoon or early evening. They tend to spike a bit then. {{{Rayanne and Rylee}}}

Hope she's feeling better soon! Wow, you're fortunate she has gone this long without a fever.

Poor thing! I hope she gets her fever down soon.

Another suggestion, keep her medicated, don't wait for the fever to spike and then give meds. Just keep giving it to her every x hours(whatever the directions say).

That's what I am doing Kaye.
Thank you.
She is sleeping now, so when she gets up, I will give it to her again.
