Blaise has had a fever for about 24 hours now. I just took his temperature and it was about 101.8 :( He hasn't shown any other symptoms yet. He's been acting really achy and tired but tries to have fun too. He tossed and turned all night last night even after giving him Tylenol. He ate a decent breakfast and was energetic this morning, but around 11 he was ready for a nap and could hardly walk. Ever since his nap all he's had to eat are some grapes and a pear. He tries to do something and just gives up and lies down or crawls into your lap. His poop is normal, no throwing up, I guess one other symptom he does have is that he's a little bit stuffy. We don't have any insurance yet (doesn't start till Sept) so I'm not taking him to a doctor unless it gets more serious. Besides, even if we had insurance I wouldn't take him, there's nothing they could do at this point. Any ideas of what it could be? I'm counting on all you moms with experience to have some insight into something I haven't thought of, so maybe I can either be prepared or know what to watch for. Most likely it will all just go away tomorrow and I'll never know what his fever was trying to fight off.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any ideas you might have!

Gabe had a fever a couple of weeks ago that turned into nothing else. Like you said, you'll just have to wait for other symptoms to appear. The one month when we didn't have insurance last summer, Colin got strep throat! Not to jinx you or anything :o)
mmm.there's is a virus that it just fever and I'll go away in a couple days if it's that , but meanwhile I think you should try to comfort him by gave him a popsicle or something .Also I did try in the past Tylenol (every 6hours) and motrin (every 4hrs) when it's to high. You can try by keeping the room cool and gave him a lots of fluids ,a bath , that's what I do. Usually the doctor said if it last more than a week you should take him in.Sorry about that!
Amelia was cutting teeth when she had a fever like this. The doctors wouldn't believe that possibility and we ended up with the "They Tortured My Baby!" post.
check his throat... it sounds like lily when she had cmv... it was bad but there isn't much a doc can do for them anyway and they don't like to test for cmv anyway so if thats the case no need to feel guilty for not takin him to the doc.:) hope he feels better soon
Just FYI... if you do not have insurance, but think you have something simple like strep throat, an ear infections, something a nurse practitioner can look at, CVS has these things called Minute Clinics and it costs about %55-$69 to go depending on you illness. But they can diagnose and perscribe what you need. I avoided going ot the dr once thinking my sore throut would get better. By the time I went to the minute clinic I had a WICKED case of Strep that I suffered with for a week (lost some weight that way though). It is a good place for me to go with my HUGE deductable insurance.
