Jen,

Yes fever is natural and his is low.. relatively.

Yes, tylenol, etc. interferes, so is not wise.

Offer water, allow to play in a warm tub, etc all are good for him.

Hi Jen,

Are you there

That is NOT a high fever for a baby.

And yes Tylenol will interfere - it badly affects the liver which is doing

its best to detox during illness

Tell us more of his symptoms.

Jen,

Not giving Tylenol, Motrin or Advil was one of the hardest initial things that

I had to relearn as a parent. It's hard to see our little ones suffering and

these fever reducers have been marketed as harmless. I will NOT give it now.

It's my belief that these meds only slow down the body's healing process and

can, in certain cases, prove dangerous. Let the body do its thing! Make sure

your child gets plenty of liquids and rest and just love on them a lot.

Of course, we're not saying don't keep an eye out for strange things but most

of the time these things don't happen. What you describe is not out of the

ordinary for a little tyke of that age. It's hard on you and your child but it

should pass in a few days.

All three of my children have had RSV. One, my oldest, was hospitalized for

it, but he was only 3 1/2 weeks old and had received steroid shots in utero for

his lungs development (we thought he was going to be a preemie). They all got

through it and the main thing was keeping them hydrated.

Please keep us posted so hopefully some of the expert mamas out there can give

you a hand! I'm still learning. LOL

Hang in there,

Sheri B.

Jen,

Forgot to ask: has he received any shots in the last few weeks? We're not

judging here - not at all - just that this could cause some reactions too.

FYI: my two oldest are fully vaxed - before I knew better and my youngest had

shots up to 9 mos. So I came into this game sorta late. Hopefully better late

than never.

I hold my little ones, if they'll have me, when they're with fever. I mean for

long periods of time in the rocking chair or in bed while I humm and whisper

sweet words of love and rub their backs rythmically. So healing for a lethargic

child.

I agree Sheri, not to mention that awful false sense of well being children

get that only exhausts them more and prolongs the illness.
