Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks in advance for the help! My son has had a fever of 100-102 for several days. My NT daiughter has the same thing. Both have fevers of 101-102 on day one and then 100-101 for a few days after. My question is- my son seems fine other than the fever- hes a little cranky and a little tired which would be normal if you were fighting something off ( my daughter has more congestion and a cough so she has started ABX). I have read that fevers are good - its what fights off germs that can't live in hotter climates. So, should I let him continue to fight off the bug on his own or start on ABX ? If we are trying to keep inflammation down then I should start him. If we are trying to rev up his immune system maybe I should wait until he has some other symptoms. He has always gotten improved after an illness like this- we would give Tamiflu and ABX and he would have noticeable improvement- but I'm starting to worry about the effect of ABX several times a year. Please don't yell at me I'm trying to weigh my options and yes, if the kids are uncomfortable or at bedtime I do give them ibuprofen for the fever so they can sleep easier. Thank again!
