fever not going down... Help?

Make sure he doesn't have too much clothing. Light clothing is best. Since it's not too high, you can call the doctor in the morning for suggestions. Keep an eye on him through the night. I hope it goes down completely tonight.

You can alternate Tylenol and Motrin, because they aren't the same drug so it won't overdose him. BUT - don't give it at the same time. What you do is give the dosage of Tylenol, then, half way before it's time to give another dose, you can give a dose of Motrin. I've had many Drs over the yrs tell me it was ok to do this to control a fever.

But I would keep an eye on him and watch his temp through the night and call his Dr in the morning. Of course, if it gets really high or things get worse, then I would take him into an Urgent Care or call the Dr.

Alternate the Tylenol and motrin. (Say give motrin then 4 hours later give tylenol and then motrin 4 hours and so on) watch the fever if it goes over 102 then I would take him to urgent care and def call the doctor!

(sorry for the bad spelling!!!)

Thanks ladies. I dont have any motrin here. I will deffinetally be investing in some though.

Give him motrin... it's much better for fever and lasts longer.
But if he is sleeping... let him be... a fever isn't going to hurt him, even if it goes to 105 he'll be just fine.

Fevers are there for a reason. I rarely give my daughter tylenol or motrin. We do luke warm baths, loose clothing, and cool drinks. Don't give him meds unless his fever doesn't naturally come down. Call your doctor in the morning.

I tried all of those before the tylenol. And dont have motrin.
