Feeling a little anxious

[madisonsmom]

My 2.5 year old daughter (Madison) has a fever of 101.7. She is acting fine other than the fever and has no other symptoms yet. She spent the night with her grandmother 2 times last week and went over my brother in laws last night. There were lots of kids there last night.


Of course I am worried about her waking up in the middle of the night v*ing. I havent been anxious in a long time and I hate it. I guess I am so worried because its a bad time of year and sv's are going around schools right now. I asked my husband if anyone was sick and he said no. But they could have been getting over something.


I hate this because I sit here and rack my brain on where she would have gotten sick from. Its really not the issue because everyone catches something sometime.


I am also worried about my 5 1/2 month old getting sick. I am breastfeeding and she gets no formula so thats good. She has some protection.


I just want to be rid of this phobia. I hate it. I want to face it and learn to cope with my fears but everytime I feel "threatened" I tell myself "not now...I am not ready to deal with this."


Another thing that bothers me is she had a UTI back in October and is suppose to go for testing to make sure everything is ok with her kidneys. She is really small to be getting UTI's. I am concerned that may be an issue too. UGH! Kids worry you to death!!


Well I am just rambling. I am trying to get rid of this anxious feeling[img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]Edited by: madisonsmom

my oldest had a few uti's when she was under 3. the dr said it was just from her diapers.


make sure you are giving your daughter some motrin or tylenol for the fever. and of course no dairy....THAT can make them v

Back in October she was in diapers but now she is potty trained...well she wears Pull-Ups at night. Oh I hope its not a UTI!


I just hope she doesnt have a tummy bug[img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]either!


I gave her some Motrin.


Do you tend to "countdown" to a safe time from the time of possible exposure? Did that make sense?[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

I do that all the time! lol I am sure it's not a sv*, I worry when my daughter gets a fever too, but from what I have heard, they don't start with the fever anyways, it could be her ears, a cold coming on, or anything..I hope the fever comes down soon! Oh, and a nurse told me Motrin is a litter harder on thier tummies..I hope she feels better soon!! [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

Yea I know Motrin can be a little harder on their bellies. She had just had something to eat to she was fine to take it


I think its a cold. She sounds a little stuffy. My 8 yo is complaining of a sore throat![img]smileys/smilies_05.gif[/img]
