Umm 104 is emergency room temps. Is there anyway you can get ahold of your parents?
Try putting him in a lukewarm bath.

[Relentless]

People usually die at 105.

Goodgood, I hope he's better soon... :(

Poor kid! Put him in the tub! A bath usually helps reducing temperatures. How old is your brother? Hope he's alright! :(

That is true, but kids are actually a little more resilient to fevers then adults. 105 is bad, but not so dangerous in a child. A lukewarm bath is the best bet. Don't give him a cold bath, it could shock him. I hope he feels better soon!

[wolfsoul]

How is everything now??

[tikeyas_mom]

he is at the doctors right now. I gave him a luke warm bath and stuff like shelteez suggested. it worked a bit. his fever went down to 102, then it kept on receding. I gave his childrens tylonal too. He still has a fever at I think 101, and he is at the doctors with my mom and other brother..

[tikeyas_mom]

he is home he has phamonia... {Sp?}

[Karen]

Oh dear, it's spelled pneumonia, and that's scary for a little kid, but not uncommon. Hope he recovers soon, give him lots of hugs (gingerly) from us!

[popcornbird]

Awww poor kid. :( Hope he recovers soon! Pneumonia is NOT fun!

[Amber]

I had a fever once at 105. My parents rushed me to the emergency room at 3am. It was NOT fun! hope your brother gets better!

[tikeyas_mom]

Pneumonia, sorry I spelt that wrong lol..

Well he got liquid in his lungs and so thats how he got it :eek: he is just resting lost but he isnt worried, he is more worried of dieing from a stuffed nose :p. silly boy.

[wolfsoul]

Ouch, that's too bad. I had pnuemonia once, coupled with bronchitis. It was NOT fun...:(

[Tonya]

Awww, poor baby. I hope he gets better! Chicken soup!

[Amber]

Get Well Soon!

he isnt worried, he is more worried of dieing from a stuffed nose

LOL ... I used to worry about that when I was a little kid, too. I always was afraid, when I had a stuffed-up nose, that I would suffocate. :rolleyes:

I'm glad he's better!

BTW, What does this mean, and what language is it in? Just curious ... "Gli esseri umani sono il solo animale che arrossisce, ed il solo animale che ha un bisogno a."

English"The human beings I am the only animal that blushes, and the only animal that has a need to."

Italian:"Gli esseri umani sono il solo animale che arrossisce, ed il solo animale che ha un bisogno a."

I think it is a cute saying and I am half italian so I thought it would be neat to write it in italian in my signature ;)
