Gave it. I thought, I'll go check on my older one - he's in the furthest room. I get there and he has a fever. I measured it, it was 40°C. How long he had it is unknown. I know I gave him paracetamol at 9 PM, and it's already 2 AM. Rushing, while he was asleep, I gave him ibuprofen. His legs are burning hot, just like his body. Shock. I'm lying here, worrying that he slept with such a high fever.
Sore throat for 6 days. Could I have given it to her? She's had a fever of 39°C (102.2°F) for 2 days…

My youngest had a fever of 40.3°C, he was sleeping. The temperature was 38.5°C, I gave him Nurofen, set an alarm to change it in 2 hours. When I went to change it, it was already 40.3°C. I called an ambulance, they arrived very quickly and gave him an IV drip.

I can't sleep at all when the kids have a fever. I start checking on them every hour.

What kind of virus is it? What are the symptoms besides fever?
Your body was fighting the virus as long as it wasn't suppressed, so don't worry too much.
We were scolded at the infectious disease ward if we brought the fever down below 38.5°C.
They said not to bring it down before 39°C.

I set an alarm for every hour when there's a fever. If my child has a temperature of 38.3°C and I don't give them fever reducers, it jumps to 40°C and is hard to bring down later.

Svetlana Mine too.
He has autoinflammatory disease.
But I haven't slept for a month now.
I'm exhausted.

You did everything right by waking him up and giving him ibuprofen. Of course, a high fever while sleeping is scary, but children often tolerate it better than it seems. Keep an eye on him and call the doctor in the morning. Get well soon! 🙏

When my youngest was 1.5 years old, she caught some kind of ARVI and had a fever of 40.3°C. It was awful, she was shivering. I gave her Nurofen, and she threw up, damn it. I called an ambulance; apparently, they don't do "letichka" (cooling enemas) anymore. I don't even remember what they did then, but the fever wouldn't drop below 39.3°C. It was just terrible. And I realized that I absolutely needed to have suppositories with paracetamol for such cases.

Lyudmila Most likely the flu. It usually comes with a very high fever that's hard to bring down.
