Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 It has been sometime since I'v been on. Our last fever episode was in November. Well to me thats a long time and we have been so thankful now yest Ramsey started fevering again and of course took him to the peditrician and his throat was red and his ears too. but he did say that his ears were not infected but just red. so he did start an antibiotic just to make sure it wouldnt become an ear infection. I told him that his fevers were acting like a episode but he insisted that it was his ears and to wait on the prednisone 24 hrs. so I graciously complied almost anyway. After having to rotate tylenol and motrin every 2 1/2 hrs and with the antibx causing Ramsey to vomit I had enough. at 10:30pm his fever was 105.2 so I gave him motrin by 11:30pm his fever was still 104.6 I knew if we didnt give him the prednisone that Ramsey might have another seizure so we gave him " old faithful " prednisone. I felt like I had no other option. I hate giving him the steriod but what do you do when they are burning up. I guess we had hoped that all this fever stuff was behide us and that everything was going to be better. I was just worried about him catching the flu at least thats just once a year and not a monthly episode Angie Ramsey 21 months, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
