Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi guys, has had his helmet on for about a month now, and he just started a fever this morning. He has had a runny nose for over a week, and last night and this morning just very touchy..so no surprise when he woke up with a fever. Its very low.. 100.1 rectally, so 99.1 actual temp I guess. I called our orthotist and she said take off the helmet, she doesnt like it on with any fever. I am so bummed because he has had growth this week, and I am afraid he will have it off during a growth spurt, especailly if he is having a growth spurt right now. Do you all take the helmet off with a low grade fever? Do you put it back on as soon as there is no fever? Does your child seem irritated by the helmet after he has not had it on for a day or two?? I am just curious. I of course want to make sure is safe, and I know he can get overheated with a fever...like I said..just bummed out.. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
