If she spikes a fever (102 F or above), I would definitely take her to the ER.   If she seems a lot more tired or sleepy than usual...that is another indicator that her condition is worsening.\n\nRegardless, I think you need to call your doctor's office and/or arrange to be seen as soon as possible.\n\nBest of everything!

First of all, take him to a physician.  Even if he is in day care, he should not be getting sick so often.  Maybe he needs an antibiotic, maybe he has asthma...who knows.  The second thing is the excessive use of Tylenol.....Tylenol can be very toxic and damage the liver.  If you are using Tylenol for 5 days a week...week after week, you could create another problem with Tylenol toxicity and liver damage.\n\nIf day care is the major source for his viruses, it may be time to look for in home babysitting, where your child is not around so many other children.  As sick as you are of having a sick toddler, he is sick of being sick....get him to a physician!\n\nA room humidifier in his room when he is sleeping is good.  Hot dry air can be harmful because it can cause microscopic breaks in the airway surfaces and allow viruses to invade the body.  Keep the humidifier clean, it too can ve a source of molds and viruses.  Don't overheat your home.  Cooler (not cold) air is healthier for breathing.....for the whole family. Good nutrition will also help in the fight against viruses....orange juice, cranbery juice, apple juice for fluid intake.  Wash your hands and his hands frequently and use paper towels to dry hands with.  Terry cloth towels hold viruses and bacteria.

Get some lavender oil from your herbal/health food store.  It will stop the itching and it will heal it also.  It is not expensive plus it smells good.  If it looks infected, has red streaks coming from it soak it echinacea tea.  It is a blood purifier and will prevent blood poisoning. You didn't say what part of the body she got bit.  If she has lumps in the armpits or groin that could be an indication of blood poisoning.  If so, get her to a doctor quick.

Could be hives as a result.  She needs to get it checked out as as soon as possible. An allergy test would confirm this.

Any dermatologist will have a number of solutions like liquid nitrogen or 'wart poison' shots, but those aren't necessarily recommended for squeamish 9-year-olds.  The stuff you get over the counter requires a lot of restraint to not pick at it for a while, but if you can get him to leave it alone for a week or two while you give him the treatment, it will work.

It sounds like a yeast infection...and if she has been on anti-biotics she would be susceptible to one.  You can get liquid acidophiles at your local health food store (it comes in strawberry and blueberry flavors that kids usually like).  Give her 1-2 tsp a day while on anti-biotics and for 10 days after.  A friend of mine (who is a nurse)told me this trick for my son, whom the doctor was getting ready to have tubes put in his ears for ear infections.  He hasn't had an ear infection since.  Now I always give the acidophiles during anti-biotics to my family.  The anti-biotics kill off the good bacteria with the bad and it lowers the immune system.  Using pro-biotics (such as acidophiles) helps to counter act the down-side of anti-biotics.  Also, keep her off sugar (that includes fruit) until she clears up...sugar will feed the yeast and make it worse.  I would also let the doctor know that the symptoms haven't improved and make sure that it isn't something else besides a yeast infection.

Run the hottest possible water in your shower to make "fog" in the bathroom.  Sit with your daughter AWAY FROM THE WATER and let her inhale the steam to loosen up the cough.  Also, plenty of fluids.  Warm tea with honey is soothing...sometimes the cough is worse because the throat is so irritated.  Glad you are taking her to the doctor.  Meanwhile, please keep an eye on her temperature, and give children's strength Tylenol for fever over 100.8.  (NEVER give aspirin to a child!  Can cause Reyes Syndrome, which can be very dangerous.)  Hope your little sweetie feels better soon.   :-)

a fever is the way your childs body starts to fight of an infection. If she has had it all day and it is not dropping, take her to the ER. you can try to let her sit in a lukewarm bath, if you live in or near missouri St. louis has a nursing hotline that you can call to ask ??'s. i have called them before and they are really helpful. You may try to call your dr. at home. You do not need to give her anymore meds. It is dangerous to exceed the dosage w/o a doctors order. my peditrician and my son's nuerologist both say to alternate children's tylenol and children's motrin every 3 hours if that doesnt work then they need to be seen. God Bless and good luck. I know its scary to have a sick child, but stay calm and if nothing else, a trip to the ER may be your best bet.

At 9 months old pretty much all the medication is labeled as "consult doctor first".  Not until after 2 should you really start following label directions without a doctor's advice.\n\nSo my advice would be make an appointment with her pediatrician for as early as you can today.\n\nOther than that keep her warm but not over bundled.  Use layers.  Offer her lots of liquids, extra juice and water.  Run a humidifier if you can.

She need to see a doctor, now!  Could be too many things to even mention.  Trying all kinds of stuff is not the answer, most only hide the symptoms.

It depends on if it is yeast or not.  Keep her clean and dry at all times.  Let her soak in the tub and let her run naked for a while until the rash scabs up.  Keep a moisture barrier between her skin and any wetness.  You don't even have to go out and buy something special, like Desitin.  Crisco, from the kitchen, or vaseline work just fine.  If she does have a yeast or fungal infection, she will have to be seen by the pediatrician.  I have used, on occasion, ladies yeast infection cream on my son's little rear when he has had a difficult rash.  \n\nBut really, the key is to keep the area clean and dry.

100f is a slight fever. keep an eye on it thou.  keep giving her antibiotics. I'm sure the doc gave her some. Right? Well, did he do a exam on her tonsils?? My kids just did. They had strep throat. Give her med. for pain like Motrin or Tylenol and will help with fever. Mine were at 103f and Motrin chewable pills knocked it out. The fever...Good luck.. If all else fails and the fever does not go away. Take her to the hospital right away. Don't overdose her...... Yes she may not want to eat but keep fluids in her that is very important for dehydration...she may be having, as I like to say to my 5 kids...growing pains in their legs....L

sounds like an allergy,   Is she walking through weeds or tall grasses?  Does she wear socks that come up that high -- have you changed laundry detergent.\n\nMy daughter had itchy red ones -- I think it was the mosquito repellent.\n\nOh, try some benadryl and see if that takes them away in about 2 or 3 days.

She has the flu -- drink lots of liquids, alternate tylenol and ibuprofin (if not allergic) every 4 hrs and let her sleep.  to bring down the fever, use cool wash rags on her neck and head.  If it's not better in 3-5 days or she can't/won't drink - go to the Dr.  If she has pain in the lower right abdomen, see a Dr anyway , could be appendicitis.
