Dr. Nesmith wasn't able to tell me what it really was except a virus. At least he ruled out ear infection and strep by going to see him. I have always been told that any fever over 101 is not teething. <BR/><BR/>MollyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12186194.post-71606313736480962962007-10-12T17:56:00.000-06:002007-10-12T17:56:00.000-06:00I just read all of the comments...I too have been ...I just read all of the comments...<BR/>I too have been told that higher fevers come with viruses.

If he's pooping more often, I wouldn't think he would have more to even create diarrhea. I know that teething symptoms vary by child and tooth. With Carson, he had a fever with every tooth except molars, and the front top were the worst. Caden doesn't seem to run fevers, but he does get diarrhea, and is CRABBY. My ped told me that for some reason, our bodies treat new teeth like a foreign object, so virus/flu symptoms and fevers are all normal. It's like until they get to the right position, the body just fights them. I hope Tristan feels better soon!! I know it's hard, Nicki. Hang in there... and take a break if you can.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205397074842767177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12186194.post-33403653196472891382007-10-12T12:11:00.000-06:002007-10-12T12:11:00.000-06:00hey ya'll! i think he has roseola. a high fever vi...hey ya'll! i think he has roseola. a high fever virus with few other symptoms like slight runny rose and mild diarrhea. it can last for 7 days. dr. nesmith said he has seen several cases of it lately. i think he is also teething on top of it which is hard. he seems to be fine. i'll keep ya'll posted! thanks so much for praying!!Nicki W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16483781618533789020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12186194.post-39350923755717021172007-10-12T11:23:00.000-06:002007-10-12T11:23:00.000-06:00Hey Nikki - just saw your lil' man was sick and wa...Hey Nikki - just saw your lil' man was sick and wanted to say (although I could be very wrong) that I was under the impression that with teething, fever's are typically low. A 103.6 sounds like a virus - I've been under the impression that with virus's, fevers run higher. I've been told by many-a-doctor that "It could be this...or it could be that.". I agree - that is VERY frustrating to hear, but I guess with lil' ones, it can sometimes be hard to tell. Good luck getting him well again!Lindsey Easonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780000454905625099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12186194.post-16428166503567201492007-10-11T18:43:00.000-06:002007-10-11T18:43:00.000-06:00Both my boys had fevers when they were teething an...Both my boys had fevers when they were teething and had more poop than normal. I hate those Dr. visits, where you end up waiting forever for them to tell you it COULD be viral and have a nice day. The best advice I ever got when it came to the Dr. was that I KNOW my baby, I KNOW when something isn't right, to trust my insticts on that front and push the Dr if need be. Luckily, I haven't had to, but I sure will if I need too! <BR/><BR/>If it would make you feel better, and depending on how he is doing tomorrow, you could try and get him back in to see your regular Dr. Especially if the fever continues to persist. <BR/><BR/>sam had that fever virus that Lauren mentioned a few weeks ago. It was weird, him running a fever with NO other symptoms. <BR/><BR/>Those teeth can be really pesky, especially when they start with their eye teeth and the molars, those were the worst with both mine. I don't think T is old enough to be getting those yet, I feel like that was around a year. <BR/><BR/>I'd keep on with the Motrin and call again tomorrow if he's still running one. Hopefully, he will sleep it off tonight and be all smiles in the morning. I think its almost worse on us moms when our babies are sick.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539594350804987340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12186194.post-75399903238940632582007-10-11T17:38:00.000-06:002007-10-11T17:38:00.000-06:00Only once, and I just gave him Motrin.

It also smells worse and sometimes gives him diaper rash. He also fevers just a teeny bit. So it could definitely be that. It also sounds like it could just be a little bug. It's definitely going around! James had it last week. Sometimes, they can just get fever viruses, too, where they have pretty high fever but no other symptoms. I wouldn't worry too much, but I know it's hard not to! You probably know this, but a tepid bath is good for fever reducing. I will pray for no big bug, though!laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559402659753484867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12186194.post-89614717398238614352007-10-11T09:08:00.000-06:002007-10-11T09:08:00.000-06:00Neismith's partner Dr. is a moron.
