Guest guest Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Hi Dustie, I can't help but respond to this because the exact same thing happened to me about 1 month ago. Makenna had a fever of about 101 for days. I took her to urgent care on night and they said she probably had a cold (along with teething), even though she had no cold symptoms, because fevers from teething usually don't get to 101 degrees. The doc also said her ears were fine. 2 days later, her ear ruptured. My personal opinion, I'd take her back in to get a check. I think having a fever for a week would mean that she is fighting some bug or infection....especially 101.5. Again, just my opinion. After a week of a sick and cranky Makenna, I was ready for some medication myself. My heart goes out to you. --- In Plagiocephaly , " dustiejo2002 " <djones@l...> wrote: > , has had a fever for a week now.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Hi Dustie! None of my kids ever had a fever that high from teething. That doesn't mean that, that's not the case w/. I'd take her back for a recheck and see what they say. Maybe it's viral? None of you could ever drive me crazy! LOL I hope is feeling better soon!! --- In Plagiocephaly , " dustiejo2002 " <djones@l...> wrote: > , has had a fever for a week now.
