Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi All, We're trying to weather the storm this time w/o prednisone since Ian's fevers are coming back so much quicker (11 days this time). It's just awful. We're on the fourth LONG day of Ian spiking to 104's and 105's and I'm wondering if this duration is typical. He's had prednisone for the last 4 or 5 and we don't remember the fevers before this being so horrendous and relentless. Last night he was almost 105 for over an hour and didn't get back to 102 for another hour after motrin. I know two moms had mentioned that the first fever after pred. is really bad, so does this sound typical? We give Ian motrin every 6 hrs and the poor child is in the bathtub off and on all day long and all night. Our ID doc advised us to see our pediatrician to check for a UTI, but Ian's fever seems typical except for the duration. By the way, my pediatrician is out of the office today. Please give me advice - anyone! carol ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Need a vacation?
