10 month old not sleeping through the night _{Page 9 of 22}

Just updating, Kody has a fever today. It started last night, about 2 days after he was in nursery at church, so I'm guessing a bug. I have not medicated him for it, just riding it out.

OK. What would indicate it's needed?
I noticed today that he has a molar just starting to break through the gums, so I wonder if the fever is from that. Although, it's 103.6 F, so rather high for a teething-related fever...although, who knows? It could be. He slept pretty badly last night.

I did give the repeat dose last night. He slept better afterward, although he still has the fever. He did wake in the middle of the night and threw up just a little, but then was ok after that. It's interesting, because big brother threw up a couple times, then was OK too. But didn't get a fever. Almost makes me wonder if Ethan threw up from psychological influence from Kody? It was just strange how it was at the same time and just that once incident for Ethan, and I know he is emotionally sensitive, so maybe he's physically sensitive to other people's physical ailments? Anyway Kody still has a fever, but seems to be OK more or less. A little whiny. But playing and eating and all that.

So update end of day today.
He fought his nap pretty hard all morning, until he crashed at noon. He took a longer-ish nap, about 2 1/2 or 3 hours, although he woke every hour and had to be soothed back to sleep.
Seems like I've been noticing lately, and more so today and yesterday, that he has been doing a lot of coughing and then swallowing hard. Or burping and then swallowing hard. He also has been bothered more by gassiness when I'm trying to get him to sleep. He seems to need to pass gas and gets wiggly and grunts and it keeps him awake sometimes, like it's uncomfortable. He still has a low fever, not as high as yesterday but still there. He's been clingy somewhat, fussy a little and upset more easily by little things.

I gave Kody another dose of his remedy last night. He went to sleep pretty easily, but woke up every hour, and around 10:30pm he woke up crying and just seemed like he was in pain. I was having a hard time getting him to settle, he just kept wiggling and moaning and crying. I gave him a drop of the remedy, and about 10 minutes later he did go back to sleep.
I've noticed his skin seems to be breaking out just a bit on his torso, front and back, with tiny red bumps that look like tiny blisters. His tongue looks a bit more coated than usual as well. Just a thin whitish coating, not like thrush or anything.

He had a pretty rotten night's sleep last night.

I've been giving Ibuprofen last night and tonight. His molar is still working on erupting, and he's been waking up almost every hour crying at night. With the Ibuprofen, he has been sleeping much better, still waking occasionally, but not nearly as often.

Waiting for further instructions.

on 6-14, 5 days ago.

OK, I will definitely get that then. I didn't know it was ok to give several times a day. I will give him another dose before bed.

Zady, it is not banned in the USA. What country is it banned in? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
And Chamomile has no effect on my child. Believe me, I have tried it. Thanks for the idea, though.

Evocationer, just giving an update. I gave three doses altogether of the remedy last night. He slept pretty restlessly. Today he is sporting a profusely runny nose (Dad just got sick with the same thing a couple days ago), lots of sneezes, and a little tiny bit fussy. Pretty good mood overall though, considering.
I made his remedy up fresh, because I was worried I may have contaminated the dropper, so I re-boiled everything and mixed it up fresh. Gave one drop this afternoon of the fresh and so far, nothing else. He is in bed for the night, at a nice, decent bedtime, so I'm happy about that.

PS I forgot to mention he has been avoiding solid foods again. He probably ate only a mouthful or two for the whole day today, and just nursed the rest of the time. This has
been going on for several days. That molar that's coming through is taking it's sweet time. Still just has a couple of points on the edges through, but not the center.

To Zady101, I'm still curious what country has banned use of Ibuprofen. I can't seem to find anything on that on the internet.

I'm wondering if he has an ear infection. He has been digging at his ears, even tonight in his sleep he has his finger in his ear. I've been giving him his remedy every day. Every single time he cuts a tooth, he gets an ear infection. It's driving me nuts. What am I supposed to do?
