[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 127203, member: 3626"] My daughter ran really high fevers -- 105 or close to it wasn't uncommon. A tub with lukewarm water and Tylenol usually dropped it down in no time. If that didn't bring it down, then it was time to see the doctor. High fevers are common in little ones. That doesn't mean they can't be dangerous. 105 can fry the brain, but you have to know your child. What is high for one child is just a temp in another. No matter what, the thing is to get it down ASAP. However, if you can get it down and it doesn't continue to spike back up, don't go for the antibiotics. The less that are in the system, the better they work when needed. So, if it's possible let the fever run its course. My rule of thumb was that if the fever didn't drop or if it kept returning at about the same temp, then it was time to see the doctor. Otherwise, it was liquids, liquids and more liquids (especially homemade chicken soup), Tylenol and lots of cuddles. [/QUOTE]
