My son has a high fever ranging between 101 - 105 degrees. His gums started swelling yesterday and he has a blister on his tongue. I have been alternating tylenol and motrin to keep the fever down. It has been a struggle getting him to drink and he isn t eating very well.....any suggestions would be greatly reccommended. We are out of state and the local ER was no help.....Sincerely, Thank you!
Hello, a fever of 105 F is concerning, and I advise you get him admitted and evaluated for the cause of fever as well as start him on antibiotics. Till you get him to a doctor, continue Tylenol for the fever. Escort ointment works very well for blisters in the mouth, and it will heal soon, permitting him to be able to take feeds. Hope he gets better soon, and this has helped you
