kids fevers down?


They aren't temps through the roof or anything, but they are both higher than they should be, and the kids are so unhappy. Jett's not eating or drinking anything, I think because he is so hot and can't breathe, and Belle has had this fever off and on for almost 3 days now.


I've tried kids motrin and tylenol. Nothing helps. Any ideas I can try at home that might help? I can't get them into the dr office until this evening.

thanks Michele (I thought for awhile there that everyone was avoiding me)


I am alternating the motrin/tylenol. It hasnt made a difference :(


they are so sick, I just hate it. Nothing I am doing seems to be helping them. And I feel like I'm going crazy because I can't stand the constant screaming and crying. Jett also had an accident this afternoon, he did a faceplant and landed on a toy and split his lip open, so needless to say it has not been a happy day. I can't wait for dh to get home so we can take them to the clinic.


thanks again, I will try the warm bath.
