Followup to Mommy Advice

We decided to head into the ER.  They had to catheterize her twice but it showed no infection.  The ER was traumatizing for her.  They had the air on in the room and she was SHAKING.  I demanded a blanket and they said anything more than a sheet wouldn't help her fever.  So I climbed in bed with her. 

Then they tell me that she must have an ear infection because one of her ears is a little red.  She has tubes that are fully functioning.  If it were an ear infection, then they would be clogged (my DS is on his 4th set of tubes and she is on her first- I have been through this before). 

Now, I just checked her temp.  105!  Took it again to confirm and it was 104.8.  So now we are holding cold rags to her neck and head and back.  I'm a nervous wreck!

Have you called your pedi? I would get her in to see them as soon as possible. The ER is not going to have the best bedside manner. Your ped will. Call them and have the oncall doctor call you. Then if you have to go to the hospital again they should meet you there (at least my dr's office would). I am sorry that this is happening to you but it sounds like the the ER isn't helping but your dr should.

I'm so sorry you/she are going through this. 105 is febrile seizure material.  Did they do anything else besides a urine culture?  Chest xray? Labs?  

I would call the on call doc at your ped office.

Yeah, that's the kind of thing my pediatric nurse friend was trying to keep us from experiencing. Sorry they didn't help. They didn't prescribe anything? I'd call your pedi asap.

I called Sunday and the on call sent us to the er. Calledfor a followup today and they said to keep her temp down. It hit 105 tonight. Motrin worked. I stripped her and kept cool rags on her. Within 20 minutes it dropped to 104.5 and a half hour after that it was below 103. Shes sleeping but I will monitor a good bit tonight. Thanks guys.
