Virus/high fevers for 7 days/HELP please

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My 5 1/2 year old son, who is getting close to recovery thanks to Stan, came

down with the

flu last Friday. We had an initial high fever, which came down (I thought,

because of

homeopathy). He was good the next day, worse the third and fourth day, and

appeared to be

on the mend by the 5th day, though he still had some fever. My ex-husband gave

our son

some Motrin that night (he has only had Motrin 1 other time in his life), and

the next day my

son had less fever, but was more lethargic. Then, by night-time, he had 104

degree fever.

The doctor listened to his chest, and it seemed clear. We did blood work today,

which

indicated no elevated white count. A Chest xray has been suggested, but I hate

the idea of

radiation, as does my ex.

Can viruses go this long with high fevers? What can I do?!! Any knowledge or

suggestions are

so valuable to me and very welcome to our family.

Thanks,

Jill

To reduce the fever, have you tried Liquid Calcium?

I've read on this group before that this is very

helpful in reducing fevers. My son is on it just as a

supplement right now so I don't have any direct

experience with it bringing down fevers but had read

it on this group before. Worth checking into.
