DD1 has a fever :(

When Abigail woke up yesterday, she was really flushed so I took her temp and it was 100.8. I didn't think much of it figuring that she was probably just cutting her top molars and I gave her some ibuprofen to bring it down.

She then woke up this morning with a fever of 102.3. I called her pedi and we're taking her in at 10:50 to see what's up. The ibuprofen seems to have brought it down a touch as she's no longer radiating heat but I'm still worried

She had a Kindermusik class on Wednesday so I'm wondering if she might have caught something from someone there.

That just happened to DS last weekend. It ended up being Roseola. The fever spike was scary (his went up to 103.4) but was gone within 24 hours.

Good luck!

Poor little gal. I hope it's just something viral as there are some icky ones going around.

Sounds like a virus to me. We also had roseola a few weeks ago - as childhood illnesses go, it wasn't bad.

We're back now and, yes, it's a viral infection. The poor thing has hand, foot, mouth. I'm trying to keep the girls separated as much as possible since it's so contagious. Unfortunately, all we can do now is continue with the ibuprofen every 6 hours to keep the fever down and wait until the virus runs its course.
