3 day fever - Baby is sick ...

{temperature sucks ....}

Hello Guys !

Ugh! for the past few days M. has not been feeling too good. He is feeling better today but ohhh boy I have been so stressed.

It started on Sunday morning, I took him out of bed and he was really hot. I took his temperature and he was 100.2. I was scared because I did not know what to do, I did some research on the internet and asked  the mom's and dads of our family. No one seamed too concerned as the fever was not very high. But my main concern was " should I let the fever be ... or take it down ..."

The next day, same thing he was 100.7 and took really long naps {which he never does - he sleeps one hour nap at the most} . I gave him some Baby Tylenol twice during the day and it really helped the fever to go down.

On the third day I called the pediatrician, the nurse told me to come in. The pediatrician asked me if there was any other symptom like runny nose, cough, vomiting or diarrhea. He did not have any of that, but there are many viral infections that can cause fever without any other symptoms. Luckily, the P. said that he looked ok and that M. should be fine in a few days, sometimes babies get a cold that is not strong enough to   just have all of the symptoms and just show as a fever, which is part of the body's defense against bacteria and viruses.

M. is up and running now ! {lol not yet, but I mean, he is ok !}

I know now that this experience made me feel more confident in what to do in a "sick baby situation". Now if you are not sure in what to do, just call your baby's pediatrician. It's better to be safe than sorry.
