Hust as a heads up, JT - 100-101 isn't a bad fever for a kid. So get your kid to try the meds, but don't worry that much - it's probably just a sign that their body is fighting off some infection. If it hits 103 or 104... then call the doctor.
Another thing to ask about - there is a rapid test for Strep which can be run in about 10 minutes, often in the doctor's office (same day if they have to send it to a local lab). It's very accurate and you have your results a lot sooner than a 2 day traditional culture. Non-strep fevers don't usually last very long. Will he tolerate a cool bath or damp washcloth on his forehead? Good luck, I hope he feels better soon!
My boys were also tough with meds. And I went crazy when they needed to take them. Mixing in soda, ice cream - anything that would hide it... so my best for fever -
Get some non-coated generic regular strength (white pill, solid) tylenol (like advil better - but you need non-coated) and a pill crusher. Crush the pill into powder and put it in ice cream. As long as it's fine enough - there will be no problems.
It's been months since I have been on this site, but your e-mail to the Autism Group got my attention so I thought I would try to offer some suggestions. Unfortunately I have not had to deal with this in my son, but I do have a few thoughts for you. First, have you tried watering the medicine down in some strong flavored juice? A Kool-aid maybe? Gets watered down in the stomache anyway right? And then for future doses, I wonder if you could freeze the right dose in something like an ice cube tray, and make it a popsicle treat for him? It's hard when they don't understand how, or just don't want, to help you help them. Hope this helps a little.
And you missy....the only thing 'wrong' with you, is that you think there's something wrong with you. Knock it off. Leave your self doubt at the door girlie. What's the rush? Just let it roll mama~
