Hi Hetal, just checked IP after many days and saw your message.. Thanks for asking abt Nikku.

We had gone to the dr on Sat, He checked her and didnt find anything wrong, and told to wait for some days and see. After that she didnt vomit from that day onwards, but she started having light colored potty.. I was kind of scared to see that, as for 4-5 days she had clay-colored potty. Dr told to stop cows milk and give her soy milk, and after doing so, her potty became better. Now since Tuesday her potty became fine, but she caught cold. Now she is having lot of cough and cold and fever too. Meanwhile we had her bloodwork done on Tue as dr told, and waiting its results today.. lets see.. So for the last 2 weeks she is having one problem after another, and it feels really sad to see her go through it. But as Arti said this is a part of motherhood. Sorry to know abt Arjun and Laya.. I hope all kids get well soon..

Meanwhile, I was just wondering, at what axillary temp shud I give tylenol. I give Nikku tylenol as soon as she reaches 99.5 axi temp, is that fine?

chalo bye for now,
take care,
Bhairavi. Hetal replied. wat her updates now..
gen speaking,,ne temperature that is above 100, needs a medication..
most often if you notice the body temperature keeps changing like usually a lil lower in morning and lil higher in evening,,can fluctuate further as the kids run around,play,get overexcited...during ths period someeteimes the body temp goes to 99 and reduces once the child settles..
sometimes you will see thr body will become very cold..its all normal.

at 99.5 axi temp, its fine to give half thn recmnded dosage of tylnol..rather i try other things that i often do with nirja whnver i doubt that she is having fever,,,
give her sponge bath with some baby colonge,dress her light, calm her or settle her with some story book,give her room temp water to drink,,,,see if that reduces temp.,,keep his feet warm,chest coverred,,with a lil rub of baby vicks..it often helps in reducing the normal mild fever without usage of ne medicn...
and above all,medications like ibuprofen,acetaminophen r gvn only when you think that the temp is not reducng,,,that too only after your child regains normal or settling position after prolong time of playtime or say she is really fussy without ne unseen reason..thn its bettr to give it.
unnecsry dosage of ne of these medication causes liver damage in long run,,causing indigestion and such prob in normal routines,,so avoid that.

take care, hope this helps !
hope nikku recovers well..do let me knw the results of test...
