When is a fever too high?

[Craftlady]

At 104 degrees is get your butt to ER.
Temperatures are always higher in the evenings.
Are you on antibotics?

[Scooter's Mom]

I am on Zithromax and an albuterol inhaler. My fever has lingered above 101 for several days.


My knees even hurt now.

I'm sorry you're sick and having a fever is certainly no fun.
Right after Nathan was born I had a few bouts of Mastitis, each time my temperature got a bit over 104.

Crystal, make a quick phone call to your doctor's office, they can answer this best as they know YOUR specific health history! I know, using the phone is the last thing you feel like doing. . . .

Continues prayers for you improved health.

Are you able to get your temp down around normal in between the spikes?

And you can alternate tylenol and ASA. Take the tylenol, two hours later take the ASA, two more hours and you can take tylenol again.

If you've been on the Zithro for 48 hours, and the temp is still up - definitely call the doctor.

We ended up going in to the ER - I got a breathing treatment and some prednisone. Part of my problem is I'm allergic to aspirin, so even though it's great at reducing fever, I can't take it or I break out in hives immediately.

Got a new inhaler to help my lungs, and the steroids they say will help too. I feel better right now, so hopefully it's a good sign. Oh - no fever right now either!

with my fingers crossed,
crystal

My husband is also allergic to ASA. Glad you went to the ER and feel better.
