Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Please pray for my son. I am very worried about him. He never gets sick, but he is running a very high fever and I haven't been able to get it down for two days now. He hurts all over, especially his head, has been asking for ice water all day and is having trouble breathing. I am going to sit up with him the rest of the night and if anything gets worse we are going in to the ER. I can't give him anymore fever meds till 1:00. I can't find my digital thermometer and the old one I have I don't trust , it says 102, but her sure feels hotter than that.
Thanks,

how old is your son. He could have a viral infection

He is 11. It acts like the flu, there is not cough or congestion. And I am scared to cool his fever too fast with a bath, because I'm afraid he will have another seizure on me like he did when he was 5.

Call the ER and tell them what is going on! They are trained to do things like this over the phone!

If his fever doesn't break soon, I would take him in to see a doctor. Give him ice chips and a cold wash cloth on his forehead.

I have him in the tub now. He thinks he is too big for momma to be in there so dh is in there and it is driving me crazy. IF this doesn't do it, we are going to the ER
