Hey ladies - my 4 year old has had a fever since Tuesday. Nothing else to really go with it. It was 101.4 Tues & Wed. This morning it was 100.6 We have not been giving her any Tylenol or Advil since she seems to be doing OK with out. She has had a slight loss of appetite and wanted to cuddle last night. My questions are: 1. should I keep her home from dance tonight? She really wants to go and we made her stay home from school yesterday but she really wanted to go. 2. Should I be giving her anything for it or at what point should I take her in if at all?
TIA!

My ODS had the same thing last week- a fever with nothing else. We did take him to the doctor because the fever got up to 104. The doctor said it was just a virus, but we should be giving Tylenol and/ or ibuprofen to keep the fever down. I would probably keep her home from dance too just to be safe.

1. Sorry. No dance. No school either with a fever. Sad, but true. 2. As long as she isn't miserable, I wouldn't treat the fever. These fever viruses tend to hang on for several days. Weird and annoying.

I hate that the girl is not feeling a 100% but I am loving all the extra cuddling!

I agree, keep her home! Last year DS had the same thing, fever for about 4 days and no other symptoms. It just ran it's course...scary when it just comes out of nowhere! Hope M feels better soon
