[quote=Anonymous]My daughter (who was 2 at the time) started vomiting, had a 103.5 temp and was diagnosed by a pediatrician with an ear infection (our pediatrician was out of town). Three days later, we were still battling the 103.5 temp, she vomited again and suddenly became lethargic. We took her to Cook's Children's hospital where they diagnosed her with gastrointestinal strep. By the time we got to the hospital she was at 105.6 fever and dehydrated (we continued to give her fluids but the last vomit episode she lost everything). I wouldn't chance anything like this or try to treat it at home. Lesson learned: if fever doesn't break the next day, get a second opinion![/quote]
