2 Year Old with 104.5 temp....Not Sure What to Treat

February 6, 2007

My baby finished a round of Omnicef(urggggggg) on Saturday and still

acted like he wasn't feeling well. I took him back to the doctor to

make sure his ears were clear and everything was fine.

Previous tests show extremely high yeast and Clostridia. He has been

taking Nizoral for months and was taking it along with the Omnicef.

Last night he smeared poop for the first time, which is very unlike

him because he hates having a dirty diaper and is very grossed out

my feces. (My 3 year old was one of the horrible ones about

smearing poop daily for 2 months).

This morning he woke up with a temp of 104.5 and I gave him Motrin

not knowing what else to do. His fever is going back up now.

This was his first and last round of Omnicef. Could it have stirred

up the Clostridia somehow? He has still been getting his Nizoral, S.

Boularddi and ProBio Gold every day.

I have his Flagyl, but I haven't started it yet. I know I can't give

it with the Nizoral, so I have to take my pick.

I called his doctor at Thoughtful House, but couldn't get a phone

consult until tomorrow. His assistant talked to him and he said I

could try the Flagyl if I wanted, but he would talk to me tomorrow

about other possibilities.

I should add in that he started back on Valtrex this weekend after a

few weeks off of it. I wanted to see how he would do without. He had

been on it since July, but he never had any fever or other problems

with it before. Maybe it all screwed up the wonderful balance they

have of yeast, bacteria and heavy metals.

Can anyone offer me any suggestions?

Thanks so much to all of you, I have no idea what I would without

the support and guidance for give.

Awwhh, I'm sorry, I don't like when little ones are sick.

Certainly, anything has the potential to overgrow or become depleted

when on both an antifungal and an antibiotic. Fever is possible, but

that is pretty high.

I would really push the probiotics, often. Other than that, cool

bath water, keep him hydrated...

Did you happen to try garlic mullein oil for the ears? Great stuff

for infections.

I have tried all of the natural remedies that everyone has

recommended with no luck. We moved to Texas from New Mexico a few

months ago and their allergies here are terrible. We never had this

problem until we got here.

Virus or bacteria. Yeast will not cause a temp. My son's yeast

actually went away with omnicef. Lasted almost two weeks without

yeast.

My son's high fever turned out to be strep. And he had to take

omnicef..pricey stuff indeed.

Are there any other symptoms? cold, red tongue or mouth, not eating

or refusing foods/liquids...fatigue..etc?

In any event, we try to let fevers run their course as long as the

child is not screaming or horribly uncomfortable or dire..as in

losing conscousness, or acting strangely, lethargic...mainly because

the fevers kill whatever germ it is he has going on. It's the bodies

natural defense..so as upsetting as the numbers are...try to

remember this. You can use wash clothes to help him feel more

comfortable. It is not uncommon to run a high fever with certain

viruses. Just keep a record of the time and his temps, and any

other symptoms..it will help the doc.

Do you use virastop at all? It can be helpful in knocking back a

virus at times like this. And his odd behavior...well..viruses and

being sick will cause all kinds of things to happen. Give some

vitamin C if you can get it in.

There are also a lot of colds and such going around.

Each mom is different, but I would never let a child this young run a fever this

high, way to close to problems and way too uncomfortable for the kid. I've had

fevers this high and the body aches alone it causes are extrememly

uncomfortable.

I will say this, we gave only 1/2 the amount of dye free Motrin and found that

it took care of the majority of fever, but not all and increased the comfort

level a lot. Along with the cool compresses.
