Little Man is not feeling so great - his fever is hovering around 104. Motrin brings it down to around 102 and then at the 6 hour mark it goes right back up. We are at 36 hours of fever right now - it got as high as 104.5 last night. Can ear infections really make it that high?
I have never had a child with fever that high. My biggest concern right now is that he's not much interested in eating or drinking. I'm going to try some fun juice boxes or something - anything to get fluid in him so he doesn't end up dehydrated and on an iv.
Please pray that it truly is only an ear infection and that the antibiotics will kick in and make it all go away soon.
Remember to pray for baby Stellan.

his head is looking great!! i'm sorry he is running such a high fever. i'm not sure about running one that high with ear infection. i would definitely watch out for a rash in a few days to a week (roseola). always a possibility if he hasn't already had it. hope he gets to feeling better.
Feel better Henderson!!!
sometimes I can get William to suck on popsicles when he won't eat/drink anything else with a fever. So sorry he's sick...it's no fun and can be so scary!
About a month ago my 4 year old grandson had that high of a fever and like you said Motrin helped for a time but then back up. He ended up having an ear infection but never complained of ear pain.
