just a heads up for anyone with young kids in daycare. there's been a nasty virus going around the littlest ones lately. starts as a temp of 100-102 then will suddenly spike up to 105! the only other symptom that I saw was a slightly stuffy nose.

my little man had the fever that would come and go, then went up really high. no cough though. the other little one that I know of has the really high fever too, no mention of a cough either but I haven't seen him personally.

That's croup (sp?) I don't belive there's a medicine for that. Usually filling the bathroom with steam from the shower and having them sit in there (not the shower) and breathing it in helps. My daughter woke up with that this morning. She sat in there for about 10 mins. She was better at lunch when I called. No fever that I know of.

We just got back from the doctor about an hour ago. My baby have a mild case of croup. Yes, he do have fever from it, but it only happens at night time. During the day, there is no fever.

Yeah, doctor said take him outside, sit in the bathroom for 15 minutes with hot water shower running to build up the steam for the baby to breathe, and use humifider in the baby's room. Doctor gave us prescription for the baby, but it is not necessary unless we want to.
