My 10 yr son went fishing last week (almost daily) and came home with mosquito bites. Treated accordingly for the itch. Yesterday sudden feverof 102.5 appears and complaining of a bad headache (6/10 per him). Motrin was given and fever reduced to 101.5 and remained there for a few hours before going back up to 104.5. Gave him more motrin and tempid bath which did bring fever down 2 degrees. He had a ruf night with sleeping, continued regimen of fever reducer. Woke up this am with just 101 (with tylenol/motrin) still in him and still complaining of headache. At one time during day temp went down to 99.7 and no headache. His appetite is low, liquids are being pushed, he is outputting urine (twice/three x’s today). Tonight fever jumps back up to 103.9 and severe headache. Am I fever phobic here and should call doc, or give it a few more days. When fever is lower, he is with it, talking and fighting with his brother (which to me is a sign he is doing better lol)..
Eventhough he is still very energetic and fighting with his brother don’t take nothing easily. Take him to the doctor because there is nothing to loose. Since you are fever phobic what you can do is before he go to sleep, try to cool him down by putting a wet towel which is dipped in a iced water, on his forehead, neck and arms. And repeat this for 15-30 minutes. And after that give him a childrens tylenol. And if it still doesn’t help the next morning then please take him to the doctor. Hope this works and he feels better.
