Help mums!!!!!
My 19mth old gorgeous girl has had a fever for 4 days topping 39.8c. I have had her to the doctors twice already and they say it's viral and to let her fend it off by herself. The first few nights she was fussy but eventually I got her back to sleep last night she barely slept at all and probably only got 4 hours at most, and that was broken. Between 12-5am she was wide awake but tired, desperately trying to sleep but could not get comfy and switch off. She'd drift and then, ping, eyes wide open and crying again. I started her in her cot, then in bed with me, even in the car but to no avail. She's being cycled on nuerofen and paracetamol and that helps the fever but she still can't sleep.
Please any ideas on how to help her?
Shes only been asleep for 45 minutes and is already crying. Dad is currently trying to get her back to sleep but still crying. I have not slept more than 3-4 hours for the past 4 nights and I am so worried about her. We have no fans and given how cold it is I have put her down in a vest and sleep suit, nothing else. She is not shivering or sweating. Any advice so welcome!!
I just don't know what to do. If she doesn't get some decent rest she'll struggle to beat whatever this bug is.
