I wish he would clarify. I had to give my girl infant Tylenol for very high fevers running 102.5 to 103.8 at 16 months with strep throat. First time she took it and pediatrics said that's what they give.
I feel so gutted that I listened to that when I pulled the plug on vaccines as a new parent and fighting with my husband he was pro vaccine and anti Tylenol.
What should we give for high dangerous fevers or pain from that kind of sore throat? Literally watching them suffer is heartbreaking.
Be really careful with high infant fevers. Mine hit over 105 and the hospital ended up giving me an ice bath - I was not even 2 years old. I had Strep that turned into Scarlet Fever. I ended up getting strep several times each year until I was around 16.
I was lucky my parents quickly caught on that my fever was abnormally high.
Don't be hard on yourself for giving Tylenol for a fever that high. If it goes much higher and left untreated it can lead to much worse results for your baby.
Will alternative medicine really bring a high fever like that down and how do we know those are safe? Some of the links for Chinese medicine people sent me, while I am sure are well meaning, I am not sure I trust those either.
I've done Epsom salt and baths for lower fevers as well as that Maddie cough balm on the feet....I don't think it helped her at all
