Another 104 degree temp, nurofen not working now.... HELP!

[BlueBumedFly]

My DD has a history of bad colds, ear infects and tonsillitis.

A few weeks ago she had tonsillitis and had double strength antibiotics to get rid of it, she is allergic to penacillin so have to have useless erythromycin.

Tonight we have yet another 40+ temp, she had nurofen (5ml) at 7pm and it seems to have done nothing. Just given Medised as she is very bunged up and will take her to the out of hours docs in the am.

So, can I give more than 5ml nurofen and also can I give it more than 8 hourly???

I know how to safely combine paracetomol and nurofen so not worried there, just very worried about poor DD. She is 20 months old.

Many thanks to anyone still up and about. I will gratefully receive any messages but may have to pick them up in the morning due to a 5am start with DD and her very high temp.

Many thanks in advance. xx

Successful day at nursery-looks like worse has passed.

BBF-How is your DD?

Thanks for all the good wishesx

Good news, that must be a relief for you.

DD is much better today thank you but still sneezing and coughing. DH now away so am home alone, hoping she sleeps through the night tonight!!

Hope all our new years better than the last few weeks. Best wishes to you both xx

Glad both on the mend

My own dd2 has streamy cold, nothing serious and no temp but her sleep apnoea is dreadful atm. Roll on Jan 13th, and fingers crossed no more bugs or her op will be cancelled.

Wishing you both a peaceful night!

Oh Elibean,... roll on the 13th for you and the 28th for us. Lets hope by Easter we are all in a happier and healthier ship xx
