What Causes High Fever Along With Pain In The Legs?
My 6 yr old son has been running a fever of 103-104 for about 24 hours now with no other symptoms except complaining of his legs hurting. I don t see any redness or swelling in them though. Tonight before bed I missed his Tylenol dose by 30 min and it spiked to 105. I gave him Tylenol right away and he vomited it back up. So we put him in the bath and gave him a Popsicle. It s down to 104.5 now. I am at my parents house and do not have children s ibuprofen and I am almost and hour drive from the closest place to get some. Can I give him a dose of adult Ibuprofen?

yes u can give him half tablet of the adult dose and the other half, give it after an hour or 2, the temperature is very high and your child needs medical attention and also some other drugs too which u could not be having at home.. so I advice you to take your baby to hospital as soon as possible
