Again me, the fever/another question about shoes?

the fever was 102,5, didnt check in a while, because he is sleeping here with daddy. he is doing fine and happy and ate and talked and smiled.


this morning i went to the supermarket and i saw 2 paramedics and i asked them about it and they said, a little tylenol and if it doesnt go down i should see a doctor in 2 days, but i will go tomorrow.


i read its better not to give medicin so the body can fight the virus better. what do you think?





now i have another question, i already asked about which shoes to buy for my baby who just started walking by himself, everybody suggested very soft and flexible shoes, so yesterday we went to stride ride and they said we have to get stage 3 for babys who walk alone, stage 2 is when they still hold someones hand, but, stage 2 is much flexible and softer then stage 3. we still bought stage 3 as they suggested it, should i go and change them, as eeeverybode sais the softest the better for beginning walkers (can walk by himself).


thanks again

Again me, the fever/another question about shoes?
Tylenol will help your baby feel better and bring the temperature down articificially. After the tylenol wears off, you may see his temperature rise again.





An antibiotic will fight an infection. I think that is what you are talking about when you refer to not giving medication so that the body can fight the infection on its own. Talk with your doctor, many times that is good advice. Sometimes it%26#039;s not.





As for shoes, talk with your doctor/pediatrican. You can%26#039;t really trust the people at Stride Rite stores. They might say they%26#039;re trained, but many have no clue what they%26#039;re talking about.


Ask your doctor what to look for in shoes.





Have fun with your baby!
Reply:Give him the tylenol, a high temperature can trigger febrile seizures, and then you%26#039;ll end up in the ER.





Since you already bought the stage 3 shoes, just keep them and see how your son does.
Reply:take the tylenol to bring the fever down as when my fever spiked to 104 I ended up with seizures for 39 years of my life. so take the tylenol to bring down the fever.
Reply:I remember when my daughter had a temp. we took her to the hospital and they told me to give her Tylenol and alternate with Motrin fever reducer every 6 hours I believe. I think it would be best to talk it over with your Doctor first about giving medicines for a virus before you believe an article you read somewhere. My kids hated shoes, when they started to walk. Soft shoes are probably more comfortable. My kids started walking in the summer time, so barefooted and or sandals worked for them. Back then (my kids are, 26, 22, 19) people didn%26#039;t make a big fuss about shoes unless they had something wrong with their gate (walk). My 7 year old wore soft tennis shoes. She breezed through the walking process pretty fast.
