My 16 month started W/ a 102.5 fever outta nowhere lastnite....?
the do all the normal look see to check her, she has a temp of 102.8 when we get there BTW. So they do the whole exam and find nothing at all.. so outta no where they decide to do bloodwork, and a urine sample which means a cath.
Needless to say she was over due for tylenol, i asked 3 times they said to wait do this n that first... after a 3 hr dr. visit we get sent home with NO ANSWERS for the fever, and no tylenol in her no recheck on the temp. At this point she is like sleeping. So dumbfounded we leave, as we are pulling around the dr. parking lot( which is in the same building as the Hospital. She has a seizure in the car... I rushed back around the building to the ER hysterically. They take her temp its 104.4 !!! Seizure was brought on by high fever..They gave her motrin & tylenol to knock it down. ( cont. in details )
Answers:
I don't understand why they didn't admit her when you brought her in with the 104 fever with seizure!!!
Now I know that when it happened to my Son, because he was only 5 weeks old, he had a fever of 104.3 and they admitted him, the blood work and everything just like you was normal and no visible signs of infection.. But they gave him antibiotic and he stayed in the hospital for 7 days until his fever broke!!
I think a second opinion might help.. and I know what the Dr.'s say it is probably viral and an antibiotic won't help but I would demand that they give you one.. You don't spike a high fever like that and continue to run one this long!!
Good Luck!! I feel you panic and helplessness..
when i was 18 months old. i had a fever of 104. i got the fever for having ear infection. it could be anything. seizer is not easy to catch in test they had on your daughter. keep her in the hostipal and have doctors watch her and see what happens. but just have faith in her. i hope she will pull through for u.
