Strange fever going around 9 month old

Question

My little girl had fever off and on ranging from 100. to 103., we are now on the third day and it is about 101, she is in a diaper only, giving her popsickles, a cool bath, wet rag, but it does not seem to go away, she is not tugging on her ears, or teething, but she is extremely miserable

Answer 1

That's very odd.  My daughter, who is also 9 months old is going through the same thing.  The only difference is she also has had diarrhea for the 3 days and she just finished up with an eye infection.  I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow and see what else I can do to help her.

Update:

So I called the doctor and he said that most likely the baby has a virus and it just has to run its course.  If the symptoms get worse then we are to take her in to see him or to the ER depending on what time of day it is.  Also, he said that fluids are very important (i.e. breastmilk/formula, pedialyte, etc.).  Feeding her solids is not crucial right now but if she is hungry for them then go for the ones that bind like rice cereal, bananas and sweet potato.  I hope, for you sake and mine, that this will pass in the next few days.

Best of luck
