Whereneverever Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 My kids and I flew to Texas to visit my parents. Tuesday I had a fever, felt punky, and went to urgent care with suspected mastitis. I got antibiotics and a few days later was totally fine. Wednesday the baby got a fever, felt icky, and was over it in just over 24 hours. Now my middle two kids are sick. My three year old is on day three of fever. Last night it was 102.5 F, this morning it was 101.5f. My six year old has been around 101.5-101.9F, as well, but she's only on day two. Both kids perk up for fun activities and are drinking well. I'm a little surprised at day three my little guy hasn't kicked this, should I be getting concerned this may be bacterial? And if so, is my baby going to get sick, again? Please advise, Internet!

Whereneverever Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Just rechecked his temp- back to 102.2. Grrrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 While it has been a couple days, their fevers are not that high. I would not panic at this point. Just keep pushing fluids and resting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 My toddler has a rash on his face and upper chest now, I'm thinking viral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrygal Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 They probably won't treat it as bacterial for only having a fever for a couple days - either you had what they had and the antibiotics really had nothing to do with your recovery or it's something totally different. Probably got it from the plane :P No fun. Hope everyone feels better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 I think I may have been sick and had mastitis. My mastitis is definitely gone, and my illness as well. I just wish they weren't spending vacation sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 As long as he seems normal sick to you and is not giving you indications that get your mommy instinct going--like not eating, totally lethargic, not looking right, etc.--I would give it a couple of days. When we get viruses, it can often hit each of us a little differently. Once I had a breast infection that came as a result of my body using all it's power to fight a virus and not being able to keep the other germs in check. I bet that's what happened to you.

Whereneverever Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 He's still sick but perking up considerably. I just hate seeing my little ones not feel well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificent_baby Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Didn't one of your kids have strep throat recently? Maybe I'm thinking of another poster. If it was you, I would have them all checked for strep throat. That could also explain the rash. I usually wait out a fever but once it hits over 102, I take them in or at least call.

Whereneverever Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 I did recently post about strep! I had him looked at and it was roseola. I swear we could be contestants on childhood illness random bingo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
