[quote=Anonymous]How do you decide if you should wake up a sleeping sick toddler in the middle of the night for either a temperature check or more medicine to bring down a fever? General answers are great; our specific situation is below if anyone wants to give specific advice. Our 2.5 year old has a highish fever, now going on three days, with cough, some lethargy, little appetite, and okay drinking. Before bed, while on Tylenol, he had a rectal fever of 102.5. We gave him Ibuprofen for sleeping to bring it down further and because it lasts longer. Would you check his temp or wake him to give him another dose 6-8 hours later or just let him sleep?[/quote]
