Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yes, my son's last two fevers had lower temperatures. We have been hoping that perhaps the fevers are becoming more manageable.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Our son Nikitas' last episode was low as well- it hovered between 99.9-101.1. We weren't sure if it was or was not an episode. My husband thought maybe this was a sign that it was slowly going to end. (you never know what to expect with - just when you think you know the answer, the question changes). Our son is 4.5 yrs old and honestly I don't think he is outgrowing this. He is scheduled for a T & A on July 10th. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Same with our Lily. Today she is at the end of her fever and it never really went above 103, it stayed around the 101/102 range. Which for her is very low (the usual is 106+). I wish it meant that the fevers were going away, but I don't think so. Good luck with Nikita's T & A, I'm sure he will do well and hopefully soon you'll all be done with these fevers. Kind regards, April Mother to Olivia 7yr old & Lily 2 1/2 yrs (fevering since 11mos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Same thing here. My son had two very mild episodes in a row. We were questioning if T & A was the right path hopeful that this condition would go away. Sure enough 8 days before his T & A he had a very aggressive and awful episode, that more than made up for the 2 easy rides we had. The fever was very difficult to control and even when he went into surgery he still had ulcers on his tonsils. I was very happy the surgeon would still operate. It really stressed us out b/c he went into surgery somewhat sick already down 2lbs (which is a lot on a child who is not even 30lbs). We had the surgery on May 24th and since then he has gained 4lbs!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 We went through a brief period of lower fevers. Our doctors guidance was to not give the Prednisone if it was only 101 or 102, because that meant the fevers may spread out a bit and we wouldn't encounter the behavior issues. I didn't really like giving her steroids every 11 days, so we only gave it when it was a clear HIGH fever. Dani's fevers generally hit 106, and once went to " HI " on the digital thermometer (which means it was above 107.5, we guess about 108). Due to the aggressive behavior that Dani encountered after Prednisone was given, we opted to only give it when the fever was clearly 102-103 and on the upswing. We also reduced the amount of prednisone and got the fevers to go back to a 35 day interval after a few months (at one point it was 11 days). ----------------------------------------- ==================================================== This message contains PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL information that is intended only for use by the named recipient.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi I am a new member and we believe my daughter has Thye are in the process of ruling out FMF and HIB. Her doctor wants to put her on Predisone and I have had some concerns about it. I am glad that you posted this thread I will keep an eye on how the medication effects her. Knowing that changing the amount can help with the behavior that sometimes occurs with taking the medication gives me some piece of mind. I was really worried about it since we have a newborn in the house. I also was told that it could cause her episodes to become more frequent. I think that it is great that this group exhists to learn from each others expiriences. I just wanted to let you know that your post has helped me. Just out of curiosity how soon after administering the medication does the fever subside? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 My girl would take a teaspoon full and within an hour the fever was gone.She would still behave alot like she had a fever just no heat. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
