I will start with this morning. When I went in to get her up there was vomit in her bed. I hadnt heard her be sick through the night. She also had diarrhea. She went to the sitter while I was at school and was fine. No more vomit or diarrhea. When I picked her up she felt fine but when we got home she had a fever. I just took her temp and it was 101.7 so I gave her some acetaminophen. Right now she is laying with OH watching barney. She has a little bit of a runny nose and seems to not be able to nose breath. She is breathing fast but not labored. She I I wait to see if the medication helps or take her to urgent care? or maybe tough it out and try to get in with her pediatrician tomorrow? what would you do?

What is her temp like now? If it hasn't come down and shes still breathing fast i think i'd err on the side of caution and get her checked over x
 
I gave her the medicine about 20 mins ago and it is 101.6 She is up playing a little right now.
 
Honestly, I would just monitor her fever and keep her hydrated. A fever is actually a great thing because it means her body (her immune system actually) is doing it's job by fighting off something :) If her breathing becomes really fast or labored then of course bring her in, but if she's playing and just has a fever I would leave her be. Just make sure she's drinking a lot of water :flower:
 
Hey Ladies. Thanks for your opinions. Her fever came down after she had the tylenol and she hasnt had one since. I can tell sje doesnt feel well but seems to be doing better. Thanks again :)
